After upgrade from woody stable to unstable xserver starts at boot again



Hi,

well heck, I can't explain why there's a X-server starting on my machine at
boot up. I "removed" the init.d Entries in webmin.

After the update the xserver came up again, and now I don't know how to stop
this godd*mn thing. Which entry do I need to modify to prevent that the
xserver is started.

Take a look what webmin says (pretty funny story!):

 Action Start at boot? Description

 xdm No /etc/init.d/xdm: start or stop the X display manager
 xfree86-common No /etc/init.d/xfree86-common: set up the X server socket
directory 10-4-2003: Now sets up .ICE-unix ICE IPC directory. -DS
 xfs No /etc/init.d/xfs: start or stop the X font server

I think that's quite interesting as I've choosen to use kdm, which isn't
running at all, not even mentioned :-/

If you take a look at the processes

ps -ef | grep X

calvin:/usr/share/doc# ps -ef | grep X
root       374   328  0 20:54 tty1     00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/X11/startx
root       385   374  0 20:54 tty1     00:00:00 xinit
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc
root       386   385  5 20:54 ?        00:08:40 /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi
100 -nolisten tcp

And if someone can explain what's really need by KDE of those services, and
how do they get there? I guess they're there because I started X, right?

calvin:/usr/share/doc# ps -ef | grep kde
root       423     1  0 20:55 ?        00:00:00 kdeinit: Running...

root       446     1  0 20:55 ?        00:00:04 kdeinit: kdesktop
root       448     1  0 20:55 ?        00:00:13 kdeinit: kicker
root       453     1  0 20:55 ?        00:00:41 kdeinit: klipper -icon
klipper -miniicon klipper
root       455     1  0 20:55 ?        00:00:00 kdeinit: kwrited

Well, I don't care if xdm or kdm is in charge, I just need to get rid of X
at boottime, that's about it.

Any ideas,
Simmel
