Hi all!!! During the last few weeks, there have been discussions about how to keep X from automatically starting upon booting the system. Most replys leaned towards disabling xdm in the runlevel directory. This does work. However, I came upon something strange. Here's what I did.
My default runlevel was runlevel 2. I changed my default runlevel in /etc/inittab to runlevel 3. (note that /etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc3.d have the same symlinks.) in /etc/rc3.d I canged the symlink of S99xdm from ../init.d/xdm to /dev/null This successfully keeps X from starting automatically when I reboot the system. The I use startx to start XFree. Inside X, I try to run XF86Setup and the system hangs. I changed the symlink of S99xdm from /dev/null back to ../init.d/xdm This makes X start automatically when I reboot the system. XF86Setup runs without any problems. comments? suggestions?
