I have just installed Nvidia, and when I was editing XF86config I thought I should make some further changes (just so that I could try them .
I have followed a Nvidia guide and incorporated these lines:
nvAGP On
NoLogo On
RenderAccel On
ConnectedMonitor CRT
IgnoreDisplayDevices DFP,TV
When I boot it stops at initialization of X ... (no wonder
There's two solutions to this.
1. Boot with a Slack-CD
2. Boot to init 3
How do I make Slack boot in init 3 ???
I have been trying every kind of parameter but I seem to have mixed them all up (seems like every distro has it's own way of handle this kind of situation ... )

if your inittab is already set to boot 4, you have to boot with a startup disk to change it back.
If you have it set to 4, i recommend setting it back to 3 and leaving it there... you should not have to reboot linux very often.. so you should just be able to switch ti init 4 at the command line as root.
