What Ian wrote Wed, 19 Apr 2006 16:11:41 +0100. Plus, I boot to runlevel 3. I start 5 only after I know which xorg config is active, as I don't necessarily always want the same one as last start. When I want a different config, I drop back to 3, switch the config, then go back to 5. I'm annoyed that the login tty where I make the switch doesn't return a prompt to let me know it finished, since sometimes, the normal near instant return doesn't happen until after some insufferable and inexplicable wait. -- "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them."
