VeeDubb Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Normaly Iuse kde, but occasionaly, like when playing 3d games that my system has to stretch for, I'd like to be able to load a minimal X server. No window manager, just X, and a console. What's the easiest way to do that? i know I could use a simple WM, like XFCE, but I want something for gaming, just an x and a console. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
