"Red Hat Graphical Booter" discoverable by all the usual tricks "rpm -q", google, etc. It's the thing that tarts up the bootup screens, so you don't see the text of all the daemons starting up, but a progress bar on a pretty picture. If "rpm -q rhgb" doesn't come back with an answer, you don't have it. If it does, you'd need to do another check to see if it's actually being used: Look in the grub.conf file, and see if rhgb is one of the parameters on the kernel line. To disable it, you can delete it from that file, uninstall it, or temporarily edit the grub menu as you boot up (deleting it for just that boot up). I'd try disabling before removing, if you're just going to see if it makes any difference. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)

After I removed the rhgb from grub.con now the new added X session begins F8 key - Obviously the rhgb thing silently used the F8 key. Tks Tim
