Following the directions in the handbook I converted one tty to: ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure When I reboot, I come back to the text "login: ", after which I get 6-10 iterations of: /kernel: pid 142: X: uid 0: exited on signal 10 and can then log in in text mode. I can run X correctly using "startx". Any ideas why I can't boot with it? (Is there a good reference on this for beginners?) --
