Hi Dale,

to get out of X (or not-so-X in your case :O) ) you dont need the
sysreqs every time. since they are somehow a 'very hard hrmmm
"feature"' ;).

Look into your Xorg.conf file under /etc/X11 and look for "dont zap"
or something like that (I removed this from my xorg.conf ;) ) and
remove that (or better comment it out).

After that you kann kill X without disturbing the kernel (and risk
your data) with ALT-Backspace. You will get back a console. Log in
as root and do a "telinit 2" since the setuo still think of running
runlevel 5 "without X" and this is not a sane setup: Runlevel 5 is
"with X" and runlevel 2 is "without X".
To restart X the clean way do "teleinit 5" as root.

HTH

Keep hacking!
