Disabling the automatic starting of the X Window System

This topic describes how to ensure that the X Window System does not start automatically when you boot the engine.

Context

If you did not set text mode as the default desktop setting when you installed SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8.0, you must disable it from automatically starting when you boot the engine.

Steps

  1. Make sure that you are logged in as root.
  2. Change to the /etc. directory.
  3. Edit inittab.
  4. On the line, id:5:initdefault, change the 5 to a 3. The result should look like this:
    id:3:initdefault
  5. Save the file.
  6. Reboot the engine.
