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 set text mode as the default desktop setting when you installed SUSE Linux™ Enterprise Server 8 (in step 27), you must disable the X Window System 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.
