[Gllug] Debian 2.2r3 Fun....

[Roberto D'Amico]

Hi all,


I installed Debian 2.2r3 yesterday, I love apt-get :), and I've come up with
a slight problem.
After installing it running startx would bomb out. I tracked the problem
down to not having configure ed my mouse correctly.

I edited the XF86Config file and set it to us a PS/2 mouse on /dev/psaux. I
then ran startx, it loaded up fine but my mouse was jumping about all over
the place. The mouse I'm using is a Razor Boomslang USB with a USB-2-PS/2
adapter.  This is not my main problem. I'm sure I can fix that, but when I
installed I'd forgotten that I'd selected to use xdm! So now whenever I
start the system up it boot straight in X/WindowMaker and I can't get out of
it.

Is there any control sequence to terminate a current x session?
Can I interrupt the boot sequence before it starts xdm?


Cheers
Roberto
