Yes. You are right. There are xdm symbol links in rc?.d directories. That means Debian runs the links in those directories when booting? Oh...I better go to find some Debian only documents to read... yeah. I'll read update-rc.d manual page first.
So... now. back to my original question at beginning. :-( If I login as text mode terminal and use "startx" to run X, how can I exit X and back to text mode? Every time I click "exit" in X, the X hung, but I still can use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to terminal X or use Ctrl+Alt+F? jumping to other terminal. Do you have this kind of situation before?
