| 115131 | 2003-01-19 03:30:00 | Greetings, Does anyone here know how to exit the graphical xfree86 server for linux? I have Mandrake 9 with graphical login but want to update the graphics drivers for an NVidia VDA. I have all the proper drivers etc but cannot exit the graphical server to get the command line to install them. Help much appreciated. Thanks Phar |

Hmmm, even some commands I didn't know, I guess you do learn something every day, now if only you could use some of them in Windoze. |

Well actually, it's cntrl-alt F1 - F6 for consoles and cntrl-alt-F7 to get back to X The place to put the innit commands in Mandrake is in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file this is your startup file in Mandrake, you can alter the setting here for how the system initialises. But be careful and take note of what you do so you can change it back > > Hmmm, even some commands I didn't know, I guess you > do learn something every day, now if only you could > use some of them in Windoze. Well there are limitations there you know, you can't give the user too much control after all you must treat them as idiots.. |
