I foolishly ignored previous articles on this topic, and now they're gone. HELP! Here are the particulars: After my .xinitrc completes, the X display on my monitor is replaced by the text displayed on the screen as X started up (but before changing video modes). At this point, characters that I type on the keyboard are echoed, but I don't get a shell prompt. I am running the stock pccons console device driver. THANKS!! Ken
