OK; following useful suggestions from each of Alexander Leidinger and Dag-Erling Smørgrav, I have modified the "ttyv8" line in /etc/ttys to invoke my script; I also removed the extraneous "sleep"s (both from the script and from separate "delay" scripts), and added the "-nodeamon" command-line parameter for the xdm invocation in my script. Given that the symptoms were intermittent, it's difficult to state that the problem is resolved with much certainty, but: I booted today's 6.x (after building it this morning), and I booted yesterday's CURRENT (in preparation fo an upgrade-in place that I'm doing as I'm typing this), and I saw no hint of a problem at all. And since I removed 10 - 20 seconds of (unnecessary, now) delay, that seems to indicate that this resolves the problem quite nicely: my thanks to both of you! Peace, david -- David H.
