Hi Everyone,

I am a real newbie when it comes to upgrading XFree86. My first attemp 
was a disaster. I tried to do everything in the installation document on 
the XFree86.org web site. I have some newbie questions.

I am going to use the Xinstall.sh script. In the installation document 
it says the following

If you run the installer from within an X session (the installer checks 
if $DISPLAY is set), you will be warned that doing so is not a good 
idea. Unless you have a good reason for knowing that this won't be a 
problem, you should exit your X session, including stopping xdm or 
equivalent if it is running, before continuing.

How do you exit the X session and stop xdm? Is this really necessary for 
Red Hat 7.1?

Thx
Emre
