cd /etc/rc3.d
mv S*gpm K20gpm
mv S*xdm K01xdm

edit /etc/inittab so that the line that starts with 'id' says
id:3:initdefault

for more information, man inittab , man init
basically, when entering runlevel x, all scripts in /etc/rcx.d that
start with K are run with the 'stop' argument, then all scripts in
/etc/rcx.d that start with S are run with the 'start' argument
