Hi! To shut down X temporarily, you can do the following:
* Switch to a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and log in as root. * Execute the command '/etc/init.d/xdm stop' or '/etc/init.d/kdm stop'. * Now, do whatever (you can even test X using 'startx' from a virtual console). * When you're ready to run xdm or kdm again, execute '/etc/init.d/xdm start' as root.
