Okay Glenn here's an update. I just tried it -- still no good. Maybe it's because I'm a newbie, but I suspect I'm missing something very obvious. I didn't have to uncomment the line in /etc/ttys ttyv8 "usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure It was already turned on (not remed out). I changed the line in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt9 No good. I even changed it to vt8. I notice that every time I reboot and startx, X window runs in the terminal I specified by vt# minus 1 so at least I'm affecting it. by manually running xdm -nodaemon I get exactly what you said, the xdm login screen. Again though, everytime I boot or reboot, I always get the text login prompt on ttyv0. Mark Glenn Johnson wrote: > > On Sat, Jul 22, 2000 at 12:20:52AM -0500, Mark A.
