Once there, if you really don't want the login manager I've had a number of video cards which didn't support this very gracefully when running accelerated. (Currently I can't switch at all once X is running... which is quite frustrating---using a Radeon 9700 pro, which dose nice 3d, but the 2d I've experienced is pathetic.). I also had trouble recently when trying to use gdm, the fonts on many applications were extremely small if I used gdm, however everything looks fine when using startx. -Rogan (disgruntled ATI user) > to run, you can always stop the service.
