Re: [XFree86] How to Disable X Window ?

2003-10-15 Thread Solomon I. Shorser
try Ctrl-Alt-f1 to go to text mode. to get back into graphical mode try
Ctrl-Alt-F7. to kill X, try Ctrl-Alt-backspace. I don't know if this
works on every system, but it works on mine (redhat 9, kernel
2.4.20-20.9, X 4.3.0)

   I don't understand the question.  Do you mean you are trying
to install Linux and the graphical install doesn't work because
the XFree86 version your Linux distro comes with doesn't support
your video card?  Most distros have non-graphical install modes.

Hello,
I don't know what you precisely mean but if you want to disable XFree86
on Linux you can do this (as root):
init 3
If you want to restart it you can do:
init 4 (for Slackware) 
init 5 (for other distros)
You can disable Xfree86 permanently by editing /etc/inittab as well.

Best Regards.
