ctr-alt-backspace will kill X

you can also try going to the sbin folder and run init 3 and once done restart it by going init 5

BTW the second method is safer, make sure u are root

how long have to wait until its done?
and how to run init 3?

hyper_raider · 23rd Feb 2006, 03:54 AM

cd /sbin/
init 3

Not sure what you mean how long need to wait

kayFX · 23rd Feb 2006, 03:59 AM

ok.. i'm abit lost here.. can you show me step by step? coz after i run ini 3 the screen goes blank and i dunno what to do aftre that..

hyper_raider · 23rd Feb 2006, 04:35 AM

Running init 3 basically just ends your X sessions, hence the blank screen. I dont understand how you are trying to install your drivers but that from the command line i knwo that is how u end your X sessions

To restart X type in init 5

kayFX · 23rd Feb 2006, 04:50 AM

according to this
ihave to kill the X prior before installing the driver.. and one more thing, after the screen goes blank i cant even type anything.. all i can do is pressing the ctrl+alt+del to init 6..

suppose i can type like command promt rite?

hyper_raider · 23rd Feb 2006, 05:52 AM

Ctrl-alt-del doesnt bring u to a command console its ctr-alt-f1 i havent done any display drivers before but u know u should try like googling and see how its done for that particular display driver
