Your suggestion 2. does work in RedHat. Thanks again.

Hit ctrl-alt-backspace. That will kick you out of X and (hopefully) into the console. There's a chance this will just restart X for you, however. 2. Assuming RedHat supports virtual consoles, hit ctrl-alt-F2. You should be taken to a console login screen. ctrl-alt-F7 will get you back into X. Again, these work fine on Debian, so hopefully they work similarly in Redhat as well. hth. --kurt On Sunday 11 November 2001 10:26 am, Lloyd A Treinish wrote: > I have an RH7.1 system with XFree86 4.0.3.

So telnet'g in from somewhere else is not a solution. _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
