how do i exit out of my X Server on Fedora Core 3 can any one plz plz help me out with this

cant exactly remmeber, think its either ctrl+alt+backspace or ctrl+shift+backspace

ya i tryd ctrl-alt-backspace and then i logd in root here i typed this

su
password
then i typed my password to get in root then i tryd installing my video card driver and it said im in a X server still.....

Type the command: init 3

could also maybe check 'ps aux' and use kill to kill xinit?

uhhh ps aux works but not init well i dont get this shit, it should work...

do u know any other commands to kill X so i can install my video card driver

open a terminal and login as root (su, enter password). then edit the /etc/inittab file with gedit or whatever text editor (ie 'gedit /etc/inittab'). there will be a line in there.. something like 'id:5:initdefault:' or maybe its a 4.. whatever. change this to a 3, save, and reboot the computer. this will have the computer start up in multiuser mode with no X.. itll boot just to console and youll have to login and do everything through the terminal with commands.

so after you reboot you can login and install the driver or whatever you had to do, then type 'startx' to startup gnome or kde whatever you use. login as root again like before and change the 3 you changed back to a 4 or 5 if you want it how it was initially.

# inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
