I do not use a login manager, boot into console and enter: username - password - then startx. By which you must mean "framebuffer based pretty boot screen"? A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that when I shut down, the machine stopped displaying the messages as it shut down. I thought this may have been a "new Debian policy" so didn't mention it. In Lenny, on the same machine, everything works as it should with messages displayed upon boot and shutdown, so it's not a hardware problem. Thanks for the link, will read it now.
