That should get you to a console login. Login as root. You can stop X with "telinit 3", you may need to hit the enter key again to get back to a prompt. You can edit /etc/inittab so X doesn't start at boot: near the top, probably first non-commented line is: id:5:initdefault: change the 5 to a 3 and save the file. Then enter "telinit 6" to reboot. If the keyboard is ok, you can use "telinit 5" or "startx" to test X. If it works, go back to /etc/inittab and chage the 3 back to a 5. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
