>>> Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Look at the archives of a few days ago ;). For example, if xdm is starting up then this is what I did: # update-rc.d -f xdm remove The problem with that is when you update X (apt-get dist-upgrade, for example) again it will probably get reinstalled. You can also probably remove the xdm package, but again I think it might also get reinstalled on update. >>> David Turetsky My keyboard is dysfunctional under x so any remedy must be to trap the system at the command line before x windows starts.
