I'm writing because I have two problems that should be fairly easy to fix, but which have confounded me so far. First, I accidentally messed up a line in my XFree86-Config file, causing my screen to display beautiful swirly lines and scrolling bars instead of anything else. Since I have a graphical logon, I can't even get to the console to change this back. How can I force X to quit and return to the regular command line? Ideally, I'd like this to happen before I even login (although I can muddle my way past the logon screen if I must). Alternately, can I prevent X from booting during startup (under a Debian system)? Second, how can I change the font size that X uses to display things like the logon screen or a file browser? Regardless of which window manager I use (Enlightenment is my default), I get rediculously large fonts and button sizes in most windows. I think this is an X thing, because the fonts that are obviously controlled by Enlightenment (like the titlebars and pop-up menus) appear in reasonable dimensions.
