New /etc/init.d/xdm script checks for presence of /etc/.noxdm AND nox bootparam. This logic is IMHO broken because there is no way to remove nox bootparam (from /proc/cmdline I suppose). This is annoying because nox bootparm is useful to supress starting xserver for once on init (e.g. when upgrading nvidia-drivers) and not necessarily for whole session till next reboot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Hm, that was fine with 1.8.2, I don't know why the init.d mechanism was changed in 1.9.0.
Bug #338257 mentions xdm-setup script that was previously used to setup .noxdm file when nox bootpatm was given. No reason why it was removed though. Guess somebody just wanted to simplify things and reduce amount of init scripts.

Added to main tree. Thx Michal.
# qlist -Iv xorg-server x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.0-r1 # rc-service <something> start * Caching service dependencies ... Service `xdm' needs non existant service `xdm-setup' * Starting <something> ... # grep 'xdm-setup' /etc/init.d/xdm need localmount xdm-setup Maybe you want to fix that.
