[Mactel-linux-users] how to go in text-mode and resart X

[Massimo Di S. <mas...@ya...>]

Hi All

I'm preparing a custumized live-dvd based un ubuntu,
in this .iso i have installed some software that needs 3d acceleration  
graphics driver.


the procedure i'm using to get it working on a standard PC is :

- boot from dvd

- log-in

- go in text-mode :

    "ctrl+alt+F1"

- stop gdm :

    "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"

- install the driver (i have a copy for both Nvidea and Ati propietary  
drivers in a directory :  /home/user/driver) :

   "sh NVIDEAxxxx.run"

- follow the instructions on screen

- restart X :

   "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"

Unlucky this procedure do not works on my macbook pro 2.2 , beacouse  
the ctrl+alt+F1  is not detected by the system
and try to stop X in a terminal session, i'm not able to restart it (i  
got a black screen)

please let-me know if you have any clue about.

if you want i can burn a new .iso including other specifics hardware- 
driver
also provide you the .iso to test-it.


thanks for any suggestion!

regards,

Massimo.
