Re: getting back into X

> To restart your X system type Init 3 <return> then Init 5 <return>

[dereks@localhost dereks]$ Init 3
bash: Init: command not found

	(I think he meant "init 3" and "init 5")

	This would switch you from "runlevel 5", the "X-Window System"
level, to "runlevel 3", the "Multiuser but no X" level.

	This would change your runlevel, but it's a much better idea to
keep your system at runlevel 3 and simply kill X, and then restart it:

killall X
startx

	Type "man init" for more documentation about init and runlevels.

	Unfortunately, these assume you can get to a terminal.  So if you
have a hardware problem (such as a frozen 3Dfx card or X is flipping out
because it can't detect a fscking mouse) you're screwed.  Unless, of
course, you can telnet to your box and shutdown gracefully.
