How do I turn it off? I’ve already done some research, But I can’t figure it out. I’ve done it before, But I forget how I did it, And I need to know how because I’m trying to install some NVIDIA Drivers on linux, And it says I need to turn it off.

Supposedly hit CTRL+ALT+Backspace or run “init 5” in command.
Ok, Thanks. I’ll give it a try later when I go on Linux.
Exactly what happens depends on your system.
Ctrl,Alt,Bs will kill the current X server, but unless you started it manually with startx then your display manager (gdm (for gnome), kdm (for kde) or xdm) will automatically start you a new one.
You could kill your display manager with it’s init script:
(as root)
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
Changing run levels is useful, exactly which run level does what varies by distribution, check /etc/inittab., probably easiest just to use the init script as above.
This depends on which login manager you are running. There should be an option somewhere at the login screen that will get you to a shell login prompt with no XServer running.
