About gdm ignoring .xsession, I remember I wrote a workaround on the
wiki some time ago.

You have to create /usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop:

There's also a nice console session manager, called CDM. It can be found on
arch linux wiki or forum. At least with my version it doesn't allow the user
to suspend X. If the user tries to ctrl out, the user is greeted with a new
login screen. It's pretty nice, fully done in bash.

For what it's worth, the method of using startx leaves a small security
hole open, which is especially sucky with laptops. Even if the X session
is locked by something like xtrlock or xscreensaver, one can still
switch to the first terminal and use ^Z to background X, then being
allowed to run any
(just for the sake of keeping anybody reading this up to date, the method
in my last email to fix the console *doesn't* actually work, it's just
that the driver had not been initiated when I rebooted...my mistake)

Like this?
sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
Good news is that I got the console stuff worked out with the proprietary
nvidia drivers...

Ehh, turns out it's an issue with GDM, which ignores .xinitrc
My console might be hosed from the nvidia drivers, but I can still login
and use 'startx'. I don't mind getting rid of the bloat, either. =)

Yea, I still can't get .xinitrc to load. =(
I'd happily changed runlevels so I didn't go through GDM (I actually
prefer this), but since I installed the non-free nvidia driver (gotta have
my 1080p) last night it seems to have hosed my console and I haven't quite
got around to finding a fix just y
Looks like (from /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, which execs /etc/X11/Xsession)
that the default is ~/.xsession, and I had used ln -s to ~/.Xsession, so
I'll give that a quick try. Would you be able to track down where I would
find the relevant init scripts by any chance?

Might depend on your system config, I've never fully understood the difference
between ~/.xinitrc, ~/.xsession, /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc,
Nothing. I even did a cold reboot. It seems as if .xinitrc isn't actally
being executed on startup, because 'sh .xinitrc' gets everything running
great. FYI, I'm running Debian Squeeze (well, technically Crunchbang
Statler).

This command replaces the running script with Awesome. After this call, no
other commands will run.

If you put it last, it should work.

I'm having some issues getting my system to load the .xinitrc
file...whenever I log in, nothing is loaded from it. I'm not sure what's
going on, but maybe somebody else has experienced this and can give me
some help. Here's my .xinitrc:
#!/usr/bin/bash
exec awesome
#open network manager
nm-ap
