    6 2) start a terminal window
    7 3) at the prompt, type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
    8 4) the VB window will be resized, and you should now be in a text-mode console window

    10 6) type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
    11 7) X will now start, but the VB window will remain the same size as it was for the text-mode console; the desktop will look "scrambled" as shown in the attached image
