X

[Glenn English]

Well, many thanks to those who helped me get X running on my Dell
Latitude Laptop. 

Now I need help getting it to stop. 

I'm using wmaker, and when the system boots, it comes up with an X
login. I don't want it to do that, and when I hit ctl-alt-bs, I get the
Creeping White Screen Of Death (CWSOD) and I have to reboot. After
login, selecting WindowManager Exit also gets the CWSOD. So does
"shutdown -r now." I can't say for sure about ctl-alt-del. I can kill
the wmaker process and get out of X. 

All this happens only some of the time. It takes so long to reboot that
I haven't been able to find clearly repeatable steps. It seems like
things were OK at first, then quit working - but there have been times
when quit, quits. Logging in as root does the same thing.

My XF86Config-4 is a trial-and-error merge of that produced by the
Debian and the Red Hat installers. 

I've never seen the CWSOD anywhere but here on Debian. Anybody know what
causes that? Why does the system come up with an X login? I never
(Intentionally) asked it to.
