The X screen is going to be started on a virtual console where you don't already have a login (mingetty) running. Switching runlevels will kill your running X session. At that point, why do you think the selected virtual console should switch? Should you be forced to VC1 on a runlevel switch - or should a mingetty run on vc7 in runlevel3 but not 5 so you'd get a login prompt without switching? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
