Overview


Specifics about the setup

If you need to get out of gdm for some reason like say installing updated nvidia drivers here is what you can do. You will need to open a remote shell on the box to do this or do it from a terminal inside gnome.


  jsmith@floyd:~> svcadm disable gdm
  jsmith@floyd:~> pkill gdm

You should now see gdm close and be put at the console. Login and fix what you need.
