I knew that. >>Currently the Gnome Display Manager (gdm?) is loaded >>when booting (graphical login), and there seems to be >>no option, to stop it, to get a text mode tty. >/etc/init.d/gdm stop This I didn't know, I read in a Linux Book to go to another console and enter init 3. I tried it also with init 2 (IMHO default text mode runlevel on Debian), but it didn't work). Thank you. >>How can I change my installation, so that it uses >>the KDE display manager, which I have heard, has >>the possibility to stop X, to get a text tty. >aptitude install kdm >(or if it's already installed, "dpkg-reconfigure kdm") >And how (with gdm and kdm) can I restart X11, after >doing some things in text mode (it takes a long time >to reboot Debian completely) > >startx > >or > >/etc/init.d/gdm start > >or > >/etc/init.d/kdm start Thanks a lot. This problem is now solved. Still the problem with the nearly unreadable fonts, but now I can play with the XF86Config-4 file, cause I can stop and restart X11 quickly.
