That won't work because if xorg-server fails, my keyboard doesn't work when I switch to X. If the keyboard doesn't work, I can't switch back to anything or type anything. I done been through this one time. I'm trying to figure out how to get back to console with a keyboard that doesn't work at all. Dale :-) :-)
