(getty and xdm are notorious for not getting >along on the same console. :-) Thanks for the advice. Last nite I removed xdm from the rc.local file and used xinit to start X-windows. The system is considerably more stable. (It looks like you are right -- conflicts between getty and xdm). Thanx. One more question, and please excuse my ignorance. Assume I am running xdm from rc.local. As I understand it, I have to have a getty running for the console. If I have any other terminals, I would not run getty's for them. Is this correct? (By the way, I'm running this on my home computer and I only have one terminal -- the console). Thanks ..... Dean.
