Really it's just as Tim said. I log into the machine via a console. I don't run [xgk]dm. After I log in I issue the command startx which starts x. My .xsession file looks like this,: /* next line begins .xsession */ #!/bin/bash # I am not sure that I need this anymore, as I don't # use anything but emacs. Take a look at the man page # for xrdb to see what it is for. xrdb ~/.Xdefaults # I have remapped the capslock key to be a super key, and the # browser next and back buttons on my Thinkpad to perform emacs # functions xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap # I can see enough to tell that there is a sliver of the root # window that is not covered by emacs, therefore I set it to be # black xsetroot -solid black # if you wanted to start a wm from here, in this case, fvwm, here # is how to do it. #exec fvwm # Instead, I run a script that starts emacs with emacspeak exec emacspeak /* end .xsession file */ Then, just as Tim said, when you exit emacs, you exit x, which will take you back to the console or the x login manager. rdc -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Robert D.
