Pressing CTRL ALT F1 will switch over from a graphical X console to a text-only console, likewise for using the F2 to F6 keys. F7 will get you back to the graphical console (CTRL ALT F7). X is still running in the background, however. To stop X you could issue a "telinit 3" command, and switch down to run level 3. You'll need to be the root user to issue that command. You can get back to run level 5 by using "telinit 5". But if you just want to restart X without changing levels, e.g. to test configuration changes you've just made, you can type "startx". > before I tried to edited /etc/inittab file.And set the runlevel 3 for > starting my machine on terminal.But it did not work. That will set the mode the computer boots up in, it won't change the mode it's currently working in. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
