More or less. X is memory hungry. It will probably release some memory when/if your system gets low on memory. > 2)Can I reduce it? Lower resolution, less colors. No background.

Never tried "init" from a X terminal, so I do not know if it is supposed to work. But you could check that your /etc/init.d/rc5.d has a kill symlink fro xdm (if your using xdm). Anyway its your "rc" scripts job to kill X when changing runlevel. // Jarmo
