Edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. Here's mine: :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt8 -bpp 16 :1.0 :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 This starts up 2 xdms, one at 16bpp and the other at 256 colors. The vt7 and vt8 are important -- without them, the 2 xdm's fight with each other when they are starting up and do weird things to my video card. -- #!/usr/bin/perl -i\$q='$q',\$p='$p';eval\$q.\$\^I\n"# # [EMAIL PROTECTED] $q='print"$p$^I\n',$p='#!/usr/bin/perl -i';eval$q.$^I # Joey Hess "He.
