You should be able to switch out of X with a CTRL-ALT-F1. Then it's simply a matter of killall gdm as root. If you can't login as root I doubt it's a configuration problem - then again, root probably isn't allowed to login to X (unless you configured it that way.) What DE are you trying to open? KDE, Gnome? Check the error logs... - -- Matt http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7D81740A -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/rv/oZosHVX2BdAoRAoeqAJ9j+L40c14XBZzVPWKkG/61KHp1pwCfW7gu /G+TnB8x1lc7Oi+hJhv27VI= =Edf0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
