   Thanks Mark and Lew. That worked immediately (ditto for starting fvwm2).   
   Don't know why I kept thinking it was controlled by the boot process.   
   Probably due to that stuff in lilo.conf (for my usual non-uefi boxes)   
   about boot screens. But when you mentioned inittab, I finally recalled   
   that runlevel stuff, though I'd never had to manually mess with it before.
