problem with Xorg

[Jimmy Wu]

when I run the install from runlevel 1, it gives me a warning (it says
something about possible problems with certain daemons being disabled) and
advises me to switch to runlevel 3.  When I do that, the GUI starts back up
again.

Is there anyway to just tell the X-server to exit while remaining in
runlevel 3

Thanks,

Jimmy
