- check out the visuallogin(4) man page, as well as the
- xdm configuration files in /usr/lib/X1/xdm.

- If you're not interested in running graphics at all you
- should:
-
- 1) make sure your prom 'console' environment variable
- is set to 'G' or 'g', see nvram(1M),
-
- 2) run 'chkconfig windowsystem off' as root,
-
- 3) and reboot.
-
- *steps 2 and 3 can be replaced by running /usr/gfx/stopgfx.
-
- If, for some reason, you want graphics on the console again:
- run /usr/gfx/startgfx (as root of course).
