execute as root
 

Hello,

I tried to install a driver via the console. However, it says I need to be the root user to exec.
What was the parrameter I needed to add so it asks for the root password?

type "su" without the quotes in the console before running your command. It should ask for the root pass.

ok, thanks :)

Now it sais I'm running X, and I'm not supposed to run X ...
Where can I stop X?

Type CTRL+ALT+F1, which will switch you into a textual console, and login as root. Then type "init 3". This should bring you down to text mode (you may still need to log out of your X session, if so, go back to it with CTRL+ALT+F7 and log out).

hey cool! I learned something new there too! I was editing xorg.conf and using a false driver name to stay in text mode lol.
