I dislike modifying any of /etc/rc*, though in the case of rc.local it's unjustified :) But it's very neat to be able to do 'cp /usr/src/etc/rc* /usr/src/etc/etc.i386/rc* /etc' without worrying too much during a make world. > We are talking about possible conflict between getty and xdm.

It is possible that my machine is simply fast enough that getty gets started before xdm starts the X server. I did not realise there was a race condition there. This is solved easily by adding a short delay before starting xdm, as you suggested. I apologize for the confusion. -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
