Hello,
by the way approximately every 15-20 reboots I encounter exactly the same
problem. This is quite rare, so I don't really care. When this problem
occurs I solve it with a restart of X. I'm using xdm and initng 0.6.10 with
initng-ifiles 0.1.2 from your debian repository. My debian version is SID.
Like Jens system/console-screen is also in my system runlevel. I hope this
will be interesting for anyboy.
By the way I'm using initng for over a year now and I really like it. :)
Best regards,
Patrick
