Now, the boot messages scroll off so fast I can't read them, and the

This is why I don't use a login manager (like [kwxg]dm); as long as the
system doesn't switch to a graphical VT (or is it any VT?), you're able
to Shift-PgUp/Dn through the boot messages after logging in.
Since booting up is a rare thing, the extra step of typing "startx &" to
get X started is an extremely minimal price to pay for living without a
graphical login manager.
Amen, brother.
Except of course when you have a multi-seat system and only monitor 0
has VT's.
