 How do I get to the command line from KDE? <<

Here's the simplest approach: press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a text-mode login
prompt. Log in as root, with your superuser password. Now, type

telinit 3

You should now be able to go ahead and mess with your X configuration, and
when you're finished,

telinit 5

If you want to come up in text mode always, change the default runlevel to
3 with the following

cd /etc
vi inittab

and you should see a lot of comments in the top half of the screen. Use the
arrow keys to move the cursor down to the line that reads

id:5:initdefault:

and then move the cursor so it's right on top of the '5'. Press 'r', then
'3', then press ':wq' to save the changed file and quit. You can change the
default runlevel back to 5 to get a graphical login whenever you want.

Best,
