Nope? it just moves the mouse arrow around a bit and a Gnome startup dialog box as wellYou run Debian woody? Try Ctrl-Alt-Fx, with x being 1, 2 ... 6. This will give you a text login screen. You may then:
I know that?s supposed to immediately exit, and I believe, Ctl-Alt-<B-S> is supposed to cycle through the various resolutions but that doesn?t work either
Can I not prevent it from starting in the first place? I tried booting from the boot floppy, but that just ends up in the same place
1) kill gdm (but I think that's not necessary) with
'kill -9 (pidof gdm)'
2) edit /etc/XFree86Config-4 ( much more important ) appropiately, then reboot.
If you want to disable gdm, so that X will not start automatically, cd to /etc/rcX.d, where X stands for your "default" runlevel, most probably 2. Being root, do
'mv SXYgdm nSXYgdm'
, with XY meaning the number you will easily find out ....
