I recently installed the KDE system on my machine and tried to set up Xgl, but its kind of broke. This is what I did: Start YaST from the main menu or by pressing Alt+F2 and entering yast. In *, select System>/etc/sysconfig Editor. In the list on the left, unfold the Desktop>Display manager entries. Select the DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER entry and set its value to Xgl Now it will only boot into CLI mode, and I don't have a clue how to reverse the above without the GUI, so if someone could spoonfeed me a bit and give me lamens-terms instructions on how I could change it back in CLI mode, I would be very grateful, also if you could tell me what it would have been originally - was it Xorg? Thanks very much!

At the prompt try inputing: su dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg This may bring up a text wizard to reconfigure the Xserver. If it comes up and you don't know the answer to any question just go with the default suggested answer.

Hi, I tried that but it didn't work. It didn't seem to like the 'su' bit - does that make it run with super-user priviledges? I was logged in as root. I tried it again without the su bit but it didn't want to know. I tried 'X -configure' too, but that seemed to try and start teh X server and it didn't work. Do you know any other commands that might work, or maybe the location of the file I would have to alter to get it working? Thanks

At the prompt try inputing: sax2

From what I remember of suse (which to be honest I haven't used since v5.2) you can also run yast in text mode using ncurses. I don't think dpkg-reconfigure will work for you as it's aimed at a debian based systems. If you just want to change it back to running regular X then edit the file /etc/sysconfig/xserver and set XSERVER="X"

Hi, fixed it now and thought I should just say thanks and say what I did; sax2 let me configure some settings, but I couldn't see anywhere to choose which Xserver I was using, and the configuration file wasn't where the above post suggested it mgiht be, but I found on the suse site a command to reset it; gnome-xgl-switch --disable-xgl
