[xubuntu-users] How Do I Stop X Server in 13.10 ?

[Ralf Mardorf]

sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop

resp.

sudo /etc/init.d/whatever_display_manager_you_use stop

Setting up a working xorg.conf could be tricky, you perhaps should use
https://startpage.com and search for       xorg.conf calculator

This example might help you to edit it manually:

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ cat /mnt/saucy/etc/X11/xorg.conf 
Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
  	DisplaySize  305 230
  	HorizSync    29-98
  	VertRefresh  50-120
	modeline     "1152x864" 128.42 1152 1232 1360 1568 864 865 868 910
  	Gamma	     1.0
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver	"radeon"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Card0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth	24
		Modes      "1152x864"
	EndSubSection
EndSection
