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....
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.
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.
Given that I don't log out that often, I haven't experimented logging in and out more than that.
