When I specify xdm to load in my rc.local, I cannot type anything on the X screen and cannot switch to another term (i.e. tty0, tty1, etc). I can only hit ctrl-alt-del, the machine reboots and I have to ctrl-c during bootup to bypass the xdm load. I then edited out xdm in my rc.local, log in as root, run xdm and logout, and it works fine. What is wrong / what am I doing wrong ? --- Khetan Gajjar Visit at http://www.iafrica.com/~khetan/ Pipex-Internet Africa Operations help@iafrica.com or 0800-030-002
