To shut down the X server, init 3 as root typically handles that on Fedora.

Would "init 5" then start X?

Yup, it sure would. The init command switches between the different runlevels. level 1 is a single user system. level 3 is a full multiuser system without X. level 5 is a full multiuser system with X.

What drivers are you running right now? |

Guys I really don't mean to annoy the hell out of you but really WTF? ![]() |

Oh, like you've never encountered a Windows system where the configuration was wack beyond belief? Daniel is, and always has been, a special case. In part this is a function of his dyslexia, combined with his natural curiousity. |

Leave Dan alone, hes fine, it's linucs I am talking about ! ![]() |

Don't get confused Chris...it's Fedora your talking about, not Linux... Mint 7 is fine always is! Fedora usually is. Linux means never having to say "it's MS, I'm stuck with it until and if they fix it..."

In the world of Windows, I can't recall the last time I installed a 'free' as in 'freedom' driver. In the world of Linux, that's the status with the VAST MAJORITY of drivers. Last edited by Gizmo; 5th November, 2009 at 08:25 PM. |

My This is fun! LOL I tried init 3 as root and screen went instantly black! (YEA TEAM Fedora!) Rebooted, all is well. so I tried Gizmo RPM method again and got the site this time (Think i was just busy or down yesterday... I'll try a few things and let you guys know how badly Fedora has messed this up! ":O}

Hmmmm. I can't seem to get past init 3 blanking my monitor and not much seems to work with out first using init 3. Unsure as how to properly implement the command you gave as an alternative Gizmo, so I tried a bunch of stuff...here's what got closest to working for me (still not init 3 capable...so that may be the fly in the ointment... --2009-11-06 08:53:34-- http://nvidia-linux-x86_64-190.42-pk...90.42-pkg0.run Resolving nvidia-linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg0.run.... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address `nvidia-linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg0.run.'

yea, that's wgetting a malformed url. btw, you really don't need to hang on to fedora. Primary reason you had it was that at the time you were learning it and it was handy to have the same one I'm on, if you find Mint more to your liking it might be worth sticking to the one.
