Re: X boot not automatic SOLVED--
Hi, Maybe I am wrong but doesn't the automatic start of X or not depend on /etc/X11/config ? So if you have no-xdm-start-server in /etc/X11/config, even runing the xdm daemon would not start X automatically ?

The /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm symlink was missing. Made symlink in the /etc/rc2.d directory of "ln -s /etc/init.d/xdm S99xdm" and all was well.

Re: X boot not automatic
Hello: To automatically start X at boot you need to have a symbolic link from your /etc/rc2.d to your /etc/init.d/xdm. You have to make sure you have a /etc/init.d/xdm. Mine is like this (use the ln command) S99xdm -> ../init.d/xdm Also you can use the xf86config facility and answer yes when asked if you want to automatically start X at boot time. regards, From: Victor Torrico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian User Community Date: Friday, September 12, 1997 5:23 AM Subject: X boot not automatic >Hello, > >Installed X from debian 1.31 CD. > >Upon boot the screen comes up with the console login prompt.

X boot not automatic
Hello, Installed X from debian 1.31 CD. Upon boot the screen comes up with the console login prompt. After I log in the console and do a "/etc/init.d/xdm start" the X login window comes up and X works fine after logging in. What must be done to get X to come up automatically instead of stopping at the console login prompt?
