Some of the typed lines in in x windows in my pro-7.1 were either cut off in the middle if the typed line or even looked as though they were even hand written. I ran sax2 in order to hopefully fix that and now my mouse pointer is a big square and I have no control in x windows. I am trying to figure out how to turn off x windows but have not been able to get into the unix like text environment and really don't want to reload for 10 hours again.
I think you misconfigured your X server You should type CTRL; ALT; F1 to go back to console mode Then run Sax again with better parameters. Sax2 did not work for me though, killed the whole system and I had to reboot so I had to use Sax1 to configure my X server. Does anyone know how
I can get back into my system without reloading?
did you configure Lilo ? if so you should have a boot diskette or a bootable MBR on your hard disk. Also how
can Xwindows be kept from automatically starting?
Run yast1 and write : DISPLAYMANAGER="console" in your /etc/rc.config file that's what I did for me ; you can go to graphic mode again from the command line by typing : kdm , for instance or whatever your GUI is. hope this helps though I am a bit of a newbie myself. -- ============================================================================== Paul Ollion. ==============================================================================
