Prevent Xvesa from starting?
« on: November 18, 2010, 10:18:55 AM »
Is there any way to prevent Xvesa from starting at bootup? I don't want to remove it, I would just like to be able to manually start it by typing startx whenever I need to log in and change something.

I know I can hit ctrl + alt + backspace to close it, but I haven't figured out how to just boot to the command line.

Forgot to mention I am using syslinux to boot.
