As part of your initscripts, 'xdm' (x display manager) or 'gdm' (gnome display manager) is being called. You need to kill that process... I don't know if there's a more graceful way. To do it, switch to a VT (Crtl+Alt+F1 to switch to VT1, Crtl+Alt+F2 to switch to VT2, and so on). Then type 'killall xdm'. If it works, you can now re-run the x-config program. Hall
