All OK. When I tried to exit last night I could not shutdown, the little button was pressed, but the GO button would not highlight, and so I had to switch off the PC.

If you wish to change back to 'normal' Command line upon Startup then edit the /etc/inittab file and change the Runlevel
# default runlevel id:3:initdefault: ...
Change the "3" to "2"
There are several things that can be done. o You can open another virtual console "CTL-ALT-F?", login as root and do "init 2" which will bring the sytem to run level 2, no xwindows. o You can open another VC and CTL-ALT-DEL. o You can open the other VC and reboot, but then you'd have the problem with the xwindows coming up again so, youcan enter this at the lilo boot: "kernellabel 1" to come up in single user mode, or "kernellabel 2" to come up in run level 2 (without xwindows). Then, edit inittab or run yast to modify inttab for an ASCII login until you get the xserver problem resolved and them put it back. o You can edit the KDM screen to allow ALL to do the shutdown/restart so that next time you have the problem you can use the menu item to restart from the kdm login menu Etc... -- Brad Shelton bshelton@ole.net On Line Exchange <A HREF="http://ole.net"><A HREF="http://ole.net</A">http://ole.net</A</A>> Detroit News <A HREF="http://detnews.com"><A HREF="http://detnews.com</A">http://detnews.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
