I just tried this as well, as you suggested. I fired up X with: X :0 & and was able two switch back and forth between the blank X window and the console. Note that unlike with xdm, the mouse cursor did not show up. Next I ran: DISPLAY=:0 urxvt And at that point X crashed, just like it does when spawning from xdm. Let me know if there are other things I should try. thanks, tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
