Don't know why X doesn't like your keyboard, but I can tell you that, if you want to kill wdm, you need to kill wdm, not X. wdm's purpose is basically to ensure that there's an X session running at all times. If it sees that the X ssession died, it starts a new one. Also, the preferred method for stopping wdm is: /etc/init.d/wdm stop -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
