[snip] I'm not sure what exactly is your question. It could be that either you are currenlty looking at an XFree86 X session and want to kill it and get back to a text console: in that case pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace simultaneously would kill the X session. Or you could mean that when your computer boots it automatically starts an X login session (managed by xdm, gdm or kdm): in that case edit the file called "/etc/inittab". This file will have a line id:5:initdefault: Change that line to id:3:initdefault: Then any time that you want to start an X session type "startx". These instructions are generally correct, but details may differ depending upon the GNU/Linux distribution that you are running. Your best bet is to read the docs that came with your distro, then browse the HOWTOs at the Linux Documentation Project http://www.tldp.org.
