I am running more-or-less pure slink, upgraded from hamm. I think you may need the xdm package installed before switchdm can work, even if you un-install it later. I seem to recall (from all of two days ago) that I dpkg -purge ed xdm while X was up and some very odd things happened. I rapidly dpkg --install ed it again and switchdm then worked fine. I am actually a bit out of my depth here. Calling all display manager gurus.... Hugh ========================================================================== Hugh C.
