Correct. This is what I always do, but with sudo (so, same thing): $> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart Replace gdm with kdm or xdm or whatever display manager one is running. BTW, I wonder why the OP needs to SSH to his machine unless he is already doing stuff remotely. On my machine if X messed up, I just switch to a console (CTRL+ALT+F1 or F2 or F3 ..) and give the command from there. -- Please reply to this list only.
