All, I have looked over the code in autoconfig, but I do not see where I went wrong with the patch. Basically, if you specify speakup.synth on the command line, I don't want X to start. Also, this applies with brltty=, but I can't test that since I do not have a braille display. Currently, X does start. I'm not sure if this is an issue in autoconfig or if X is being started somewhere else. Can you take a look and assist with debugging this?
All, I originally thought this was an issue with the livecd-tools package, but that is not the case. The livecd-tools package creates a file, /etc/init.d/.noxdm when the user requests that x not be started. This is done because there are several kernel command line options that request this other than nox. Currently, the xdm init script checks the kernel command line for nox instead of checking for the existance of /etc/init.d/.noxdm. This leads to xdm attempting to start in situations when it shouldn't start, such as when brltty or espeak are requested. Can you please modify the script to check for /etc/init.d/.noxdm instead of checking for nox on the kernel command line? Thanks, William
