It depends on how you started X in the first place. If you did a |
| 8 |
"startx" (or similar), logging out should be all you need to do to get |
| 9 |
out of X. If you use a login manager, XDM/GDM/KDM then it'll restart |
| 10 |
itself so you'll need to switch to a VT (ctrl-alt-F1) and then sudo |
| 11 |
/etc/init.d/xdm stop to shut down XDM (and therefore X). You can then |
| 12 |
rmmod your video drivers or do whatever changes you want to do. sudo |
| 13 |
/etc/init.d/xdm start to bring it back up. |
