Thanks for the response.. but i must admit I'm still confused.
I thought the problem was that the speed increase of SMP was allowing
the X server to grab ttyv0 before init started getty on it. If rc.d runs
before rc.local, then I don't see how this could help.
Also, I don't understand why initializing xdm in /etc/ttys doesn't work
since by then init should have executed getty on the appropriate ttvs.
Could anyone explain this to me?
Thanks
