Things that I have tried, but which don't work:

killall gdm (gives "no processes killed" (transl. from Finnish))
killall xorg (same as above)
killall xserver (same as above)

If you are trying to stop X server, you need to killall X.
You also need to stop gdm since it will probably restart automatically.

Ctrl + Alt + Backspace (just gives a black screen - a Feisty problem?)
Ctrl + Alt + F1 (same as above)

After Ctrl + Alt + F1, try pushing any key (like enter)

telinit 2 (forgot why this doesn't work)
telinit 3 (brings the graphical login)

In Debian (and Ubuntu), there is no difference between runlevels 2-5.
It's up to the administrator to decide what you want to run at each
runlevel.

killall x -"no processes stopped"
Ctrl + Alt + F1, any k. -frozen black screen
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop -frozen black screen
killall gdm -frozen desktop (with wallpaper)

I tried killall x and killall gdm in differen orders. I can stop x in
the recovery mode (or is x even started then?), but then the driver
installation program complainted about being on runlevel 1 and doesn't
do anything.

Soon this will stop being fun anymore...

Thanks,

Ari
