Description of problem: runlevel 5 is hardcoded to start X as seen from inittab . x:5:once:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon This does not allow me to restart X whithout switching to init mode 3, or using killall command , or using ctrl+alt+backspace. Additionally, this will allow X to be started early on before all the "non-dependent" services start up. Expected results: Use a dm script to start X service. Additional info: Attached a dm script from mandriva.

This has been done before; it breaks for a variety of reasons, including script ordering. As we're not doing early-login at the moment, resolving.
