-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On other thing I want to mention: the way you have it now, you're running the `XFree86 -query 192.168.0.1 :1 vt08` command on all runlevels 1-5, you may only want to run it on runlevel 4 (Slackware's X runlevel).
If you do only want it on runlevel 4, change the inittab line to: c7:4:respawn:/usr/X11/bin/XFree86 -query 192.168.0.1 :1 vt08 Good luck, Conway S.
