You _could_ add the following to your ~/.login file: [ ! -f /tmp/.X0-lock ] && startx The test against the lock file will make sure that further console logins won't try to start a second instance of X. But I think I would not advice to do this, I'd just like to mention that it's possible (and part of my "auto-login with X" setup). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
