Hi
If you going to run Sax from the CLI, you need to have logged out of
the GUI and run the init 3 command, when finished init 5 && exit to get
back to your GUI.
Maybe I’m too new to linux… I really don’t understand your answer. It’s not yor fault… I have to read more documentation…
I don’t know what a GUI is… or init3 command
I’ll read more dcumentation before asking another question…
I feel I don’t know (and I started to use unix on 1994), and linux on 2001… But I a freind helps me to configure all… Now I am by myself… so. let’s see

GUI = Graphical User Interface (ie windows & mouse & such) as opposed to
the CLI (Command Line Interface) where you get to type & that’s it.
init3 = starting Linux in CLI mode w/o a GUI.

Ask anyway. Read as much as you can, but it’s important to ask for
clarification on what you read. You could be months sorting out simple
things that someone could explain in just a few minutes. Nobody here is
entirely self taught!

You have thousands of “friends” right here - most are happy to help…
If you log out of your desktop session so it takes you back to the
login screen. Then if you press the key combination together
ctrl+alt+F1 this will give you a console login (There are more, but F7
is the GUI and F10 will give you kernel messages). Now login as your
user, then;
su -
init 3
sax2 -r
init 5 && exit
Each of the above is the command you type, then press enter.
The first one is to change to root user, the second to kill off the X
server (X server is your desktop etc (GUI)) and puts the system at
runlevel 3. The third is the command you wish to run and the last
one will restart the X server (runlevel 5) and exit the root session.
Sax2 can be runned in CLI mode.
If you want to change something regarding graphics, you can do it from here:
open YAST-> Hardware-> Graphic Card and Monitor
Other option is to logout and run it with init3.
Better option is to restart your computer and run openSUSE with boot option 3 from the grub menu.
Restart computer
Key down the option by arrow key
Type 3 in the boot option below
Choose normal openSUSE from above selection and hit enter
Thanks a lot all for your replys !! Finally I made it! I could run sax2 !!
The bad news… is that when I saw the sax2 screen I realize that that was I really looking for.
I’m really looking for “configure my X server” (computer message, I really don’t know what it means) in order to unable my hotkeys (e.g.: alt+tab change window) I though was from sax2, bt it wasn’t
This is a new thread !
Wel.l… thanks again… and i’ll have to continue studie because I’m doing a project in linux and that kind of things (hot keys enabled, for example) makes me the work easier.
