-   To boot into runlevel 3 (without X) at the LILO splash screen, hit escape, and then
type 'linux 3'.

To disable X in an already running system, switch to a console (CTRL-ALT-F1), log in
as root, and then type 'init 3'. Install the drivers and update your XF86Config-4,
then restart X with 'init 5'.
