With Debian, all the files in /etc/rc?.d are just symlinks to scripts in /etc/init.d. There's a utility "update-rc.d" that helps you manage those links. # update-rc.d -f xdm remove # update-rc.d xdm start 99 3 4 5 . stop 01 0 1 2 6 . The first command removes the old links, the second adds start and stop links in the runlevels you want. "99" and "01" are the sequence codes. Just out of curiousity: with the commands you gave, does it kill X if you change to runlevel 5 (to start it) and then to runlevel 2?
