You can get to a console from X using ctrl+F2, or any function key from F1 thru F6

switch consoles from a console with the function keys without ctrl

X will be running on F7 thru F12 depending on which one it's connected to

most likely F7 if you only have one X running

But just switching consoles leaves X running. Which -correct me if I'm wrong- wouldn't be very helpfull if you're trying to change things in X (in this case cleaning up the Xfree86 file) because then you would still have to restart X.

Am I Right?

Sometimes I have x running on several displays, one with wmaker, one with gnome, and one with kde

today I had one running wmaker, kde, and gnome on the same display.

Ctrl-Alt-Bksp shuts X down and puts U back to a command line where U can work on it.
NOTE: I am unsure if it is 'breaks' anything but when I need to do it X is generally broken anyway!
Cheers,
Steve

Just a quick note: I also had trouble with my Audigy sound card after loading Red hat 8.0. After fighting with it for 3 days I went back to RH 7.3. That was my solution. Not vary eligant, however my sound card now works.
