Running XDarwin from the Console

You can also run XDarwin from the Darwin console. To run X11 from the Darwin console, first shut down Core Graphics by logging into the machine as >console. When the console prompt appears, log in with your normal username. Once logged in, start the X server by entering the command exec startx . To quit X11, type exit from the main login Terminal window. If there is a long delay, with only the spinning beach ball cursor visible, type logout to return to console mode. Note that in this situation, you will not see text appear on the screen as you type.
