try /etc/init.d/xdm stop because xdm is still running. I have had issues with this in the past (though I believe it should work) and needed to find running xdm processes (ps -ef|grep xdm) and kill them and then do /etc/init.d/xdm stop again.
Basically, if you hit ctl-alt-f7 and get something X-ish then xdm (or at least X!) is still running. rick Robert Feri writes: > I've installed Debian 2.2 with gnome packages, but my default environment is > TWM.
