When I boot however (and I swear this WAS working a week or so ago and I just did some updates today as per the update icon arrow), XDM doesn't auto start. I have /etc/init.d/gdm starting in 3,4,5 x11-common in 2,3,4,5 and xserver-wacom (i don't have a wacom anything) in 2,3,4,5 If I login and "startx" it works fine but bawks about user switching or something. if I manually just "/etc/init.d/gdm start" it fires up and works like a champ. So I'm confused as to where the disconnect is and why it isn't' starting with the other services? </BODY> </HTML>
