   Dear readers:

   Thanks for the info!

   Martin Alonso Soto Jacome's <masoto@uniandes.edu.co> answer got to
me first:

  ``Oh'', he said in a quiet voice.  (I've just started using X under
Linux, and hadn't grasped the differences between startx and xdm.)

   At the time I was tweaking the ModeLines to get the display size
best suited to the screen, and thus was starting and killing X
constantly.  Next time, I'll just use startx, and save myself some
hassle.

   Thanks in arrears, too.

			    Sincerely,

				Max Hyre
