Hi, Gary,

Thanks for the tip.  Did it; but no joy. I can switch
from TTY7(X window) to any other TTY(1-8) and get the
login prompt and the boot print out on tty1 but then
can't change back to tty7 or any other tty.  Loging in
on the tty doesn't make any differenct; can't get out
of it and have to do a kdm restart to get back to
login screen.  CNTl-ALT-BACKSPACE doesn't kill X. 
Good old Hardy is working fine so far.  Thanks for the
suggestion,
