If you have trouble with X respawning. Wait for it to pause to catch its breath, and then hit Ctl+Alt+F2 to get you to another console window Log in as root, and then type 'init 3' This will stop X trying to start again. You can then rerun 'mousedrake', or 'XFdrake' if it is a video problem. When you think you have it OK then type 'init 5' to restart X.
