(X generally runs on console 7 (Control+ Alt+ F7) From there you can edit /etc/inittab with your favorite text editor. In order for the change to take effect, the easiest thing to do is reboot. There is another way, I believe but I'm just lazy enough to not hunt for it. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
