had similar problems... if you dont mind starting your wmanager manually, without using xdm or similar programs, try adding sth like this to your /etc/ttys files... comment out the line that starts xdm -nodaemon and add a similar one to start the XFree86 sth like ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86" xterm on secure this shud result in X starting every time you start your system with the X-mouse screen and the pixel-chessboard background. make a small script to start your wmanager in your home dir #!/bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker -display :0 (thats for me, i use windowmaker, add there what you wud normally add to .xinitrc or .xsession) chmod +x filename_to_start_window_manager shud work... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
