Cannot kill X and return to shell #476

Closed caeril closed 1 year ago

caeril commented 1 year ago

Apologies in advance if this issue is too "tech-supporty" in nature.

With the default LARBS config, If X freezes due to driver issues, killing X with the standard ctrl+alt+backspace returns the user to the login prompt, rather than a logged-in shell. Upon login, X starts immediately and the cycle repeats, so there appears to be no way to drop to a console shell to modify Xorg.conf to fix the issue.
