hi all,

i'm having problems with powering off RH9 on my dual-boot system with windows xp.

when i type the command: shutdown -h now, the system shuts down as usual, but when it is finished it says power down, but it won't power down the system automatically, how can i solve this??

**EDIT** by the way, windows xp does power down the system, so my bios settings are correct **EDIT**


also another question, you have the command startx to start the gui, but is there a way to stop the gui? i need this to install the latest video driver for nvidia, and i solved this problem by:
rm -f /tmp/X0-lock
kill xinitd
kill xfs
kill X

but i'm pretty convinced there must be an easier way to do this, i've searched google for both this problems, but i can't find any relevant information....

thanks in advance for any replies..



grtz
