I'm curious now, what do you mean by 'X runlevel'?
Here is what I've got:
$ls /etc/runlevels/
boot/ default/ nonetwork/
$rc-update show
apache2 | default
bootmisc | boot
bootsplash |
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
crypto-loop |
cupsd | default
ddclient | default
dnsmasq | default
domainname |
esound |
gpm |
[... the list is much longer but I truncated it ...]
It also seems like this comment in /etc/inittab
-------------
# Used by /etc/init.d/xdm to control DM startup.
# Read the comments in /etc/init.d/xdm for more
# info. Do NOT remove, as this will start nothing
# extra at boot if /etc/init.d/xdm is not added
# to the "default" runlevel.
x:a:once:/etc/X11/startDM.sh
-------------
indicates that there is no special X runlevel, just the fact of adding xdm into mix
makes your maching boot into X, but all the scripts still live in 'default' runlevel.
So, from this point of view, the name 'default' makes sense.
You've mentioned 'entries listed multiple times', could you clarify? What command
did you run to generate that output?
