There is no dselect for X but there are things that replace dselect n X. If you run regular xtern in X, just hit Ctrl-<Middle Mouse Button> and select Reverse Video. Then you should get black-on-white text. The nicest X packeging this I ever used is red-carpet [at least it's in Sid - don't know about woody]. It is also part of Ximian desktop which is for potato. Adam PS. Right now Red Carpet doesn't appear to run so well in sid.
