CTL + ALT + F[1-8] key combination will help you. Don't enter anything in the xdm. Try the above mentioned keys combination. if you haven't disabled the other ttys, then you will able to see text login prompt. thanks -manas --- Kelvin Ng Chee Hoong wrote: > Hi ; > I have enabled console ttyv8 to " ttyv8 > /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm > -nodaemon xterm on secure" in /etc/ttys file . > Whenever reboot , xdm > will automatically appear first and asking for > username & password to > login .
