Hi All,
       How do I turn off Xsever?So I can install some new video driver.I have 
tied everything I can think off.
       I'm running MDK 9.1,I've work out how to get to the folder in a 
Terminal,bu keep getting the error message"you apper to be running a X sever 
please,turn off".
     The drivers are the new Nvidia ones for my TNT2
               Drew

In a console, logged in as root, type:

telinit 3

That will stop X.

Once you are done installing the video drivers:

telinit 5

That's what I do anyway.  It works for me.
