You'll be back where you started after a reboot if you didn't change inittab to start at runlevel 3. That is, if you do the 'init 3' and X doesn't shut down cleanly you will have to remove the lock file again. But at least you'll know what is going on if 'startx' complains. You may or may not hang in the same way when starting via 'startx' so try to watch for any error messages that might flash by first. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
