how to tell livecd not to start x?
Asked by
Ian Fiske
I am trying out Harder Beta and upon starting X, I get strange lines and garbage on my screen. The mouse pointer appears and I can control it but the keyboard appears to be dead! I'd like to try some debugging before sending in a bug report, so my question is:
How can I tell the livecd to boot like normal, except do not start X? Then I can play with xorg.conf and disable "DRI" like I've read I need to do. I've tried the "safe video" option and VESA is also broken, though I got it working by updating xserver-
Thanks!
Ian
