Search for a line that should look something like this: id:5:initdefault: 3. Change it to: id:2:initdefault: No the system starts runleven per default. Try to execute the command from above to activate vmplayer. Does this work? Also it should still be possible to start the grafical frontend. >Christian Regards, Christian -- Christian Schoepplein <chris at schoeppi.net> Manage your communication: http://www.otrs.com Linux for the blind: http://www.blinux.suse.de
