Not quite. X will come out in the VC one higher than the last one that is defined in your inittab, no matter which VC you do startx from. For example, I often do startx from VC 1. And since I have 6 VCs defined in my inittab X comes up in VC 7. In fact, no matter which VC I do startx from X will come up in VC 7. I'm not sure what happens if, for instance, one user was to startx from, say, VC 1 and then another user, for example root, was to do startx from another VC. Would that start another X on VC 8? I think I'll have to try that next time I'm on my slink box. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?" ICQ# 12934898 | "As far from Redmond as possible!"
