I will assume so since that is most typical. Do you really need to disable it? Ctrl-Alt-F1 gets you to the first text console and Alt-F2, F3, and so forth for the next few linux virtual consoles. I often use 'service gdm stop' (substitute the name of your xdm program in place of gdm) to stop the running X server. But that won't disable it for a reboot if that is the type of disabling that you are asking about. Something that survives a reboot. In that case you can simply prevent those from running. They use a file /etc/X11/default-display-manager to control which one starts. I often hack that file and change the name to /usr/sbin/lightdm.disabled to prevent it from starting and then remove the ".disabled" to allow it to start again afterward. Bob
