To kill it in that setup use ctl-alt-bksp and it will return you to the command line.
If you are in runlevel 5 (graphics) I don't have a clue. :-(
I have a laptop + dock station at work with Fedora Core 1 installed, with all of it's packages up to date. The laptop displays with a resolution of 1400x1050, while my external flat panel only can do 1280x1024. If I log out of my laptop, the screen becomes completely unusable - that is, a black screen. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does *not*
All three laptops have ATI graphics cards, while the desktop at home has a Matrox MGA card.
I have an HP vectra at work with matrox on MB, works fine. Exact same vectra at home, but with added ATI @work, fails on logout in mode 5.
I kill (signal TERM, the default) the two copies of gdm-binary instead of kill -9 X. It seems to be a cleaner kill. (Did I just say that?)
If I had to take a stab in the dark, I'd say that there might be something wrong when X tries to log out and there are different display resolutions, but that's just a wild stab.
I wonder if it's a problem in the ATI driver? Anyone have this problem
without an ATI card?
The "original" poster indicated that they had an NVidia card....
Well, logging out of the 2x1280x1024 worked twice in a row. I changed the X config back to 1x1400x1050, 1x1280x1024, and it failed to log out.
When I set the laptop to have 2x1280x1024 displays, login/logout works fine. When I reset the display to 1x1400x1050, 1x1280x1024, the X Server fails to terminate.
Is this true for repeated login/logout or just the first one or two times? ISTR experimenting along the same lines.
Given that I don't log out that often, I haven't experimented logging in and out more than that.
