Err... Last I saw, Debian didn't do the "3=console, 5=graphics" initlevels like RedHat and other distros did. All you need to do is get rid of the "S99gdm" or somesuch inside your /etc/rc2.d/ directory. It's been a while since I fooled with any of this (since I use KDE via KDM, and it works just fine :^) ), but there's probably a "Debian way" of configuring this. Perhaps a "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" or some-such??? -bill! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hire me! http://newbreedsoftware.com/bill/ http://newbreedsoftware.com/bill/resume/ _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
