You can't (easily) have both xdm and gdm. Go into dselect, select gdm. Dselect will automatically unselect xdm for you. Install. BTW, you're on the right track to read all those scripts littered through all of /etc/X11. For all I know it is the fastest way to figure out what the hell is really going on (or wrong in those cases). ;-P Cheers, Joost
