Thanks Thomas, I didn't know about gvidm, but I installed it and it works. However I am afraid I did not make mayself clear. What I want to do, when KDM starts, is be able to choose "console login" from the pull-down menu, which will give me an old fashioned 24x80 character display, login to a user account, and give a command something like.... somexcommand loresscreen fluxbox -g 640x480 where, Somexcommand is some X command to restart the X server Loresscreen references something in the X server init file that tells X to use a screen size and screen resolution of 640x480 fluxbox is a preferred windows manager and -g 640x480 is a geometry switch telling fluxbox that I am using 640x480. Anybody know how I can something like this? Thanks, --- Scotty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
