Hello,

Last night my system worked correctly.
But today Xwindow can't start. I start the computer and all services responce OK but the login screen not appears and the monitor don't show anything and goes to standby mode frequently.

Can you help me?

How can I start the system in text mode?

Thanks

Well, apparently you changed *something*. What did you do?

Can you change to another virtual (text) console, using Ctrl-Alt-F1?

You will have to provide some more information, i.e. what distribution are you using, which
bootloader?
Having said that, "linux single" will boot up your computer in single user mode, without X,
and no networking (unless you configured your system in a very weird way).

Once you succeed in getting to a text console, check your logs, especially the XFree log file
(probably in /var/log/).
