From X, hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the first text console. From a text console, use Alt+F? (where ? represents a number in [1..6]) to switch to the other text consoles. (You can also use e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F3 to get to the third text console from X.) This won't change how your system boots, but will allow you to get work done while your X config is hosed. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.
