1. How do I turn off Xorg in the Angstrom demo 2.6.27. I only need the
serial console for access. I tried setting the default runlevel in /
etc/inittab to 2 and then to 3. Either way, I am able to log in but
Xorg is still on and I keep getting these messages:

Sending all processes the TERM signal...

2. I also need to shut down the DVI port to save power. How do I do
this?

Thanks.

If you compiled your angstrom demo using open embedded you could just
create the CONSOLE only version

bitbake console-image

I did not compile the demo image myself. I just used the images from
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/.
I will try compiling the console-image myself.

Hi !

There are several way to do it.
You juste have to append to kernel env the keyword 'single' (in uboot
with setenv bootargs ...). There will no session and juste the
console.
