[olug] debian init script question

You're right - it doesn't belong in /etc/init.d/rcS.  Since you're using
slink, you should be putting it in a script under /etc/rc.boot.

What's the contents of /etc/rc.boot/x?

If X11 is running at the end of boot SVGATextMode won't matter much.  Try
removing /etc/rc2.d/S*xdm, reboot, and see what affect that has.
