!! Default bitmap depth (number of colours)
Instead of starting the [XServer] with "-depth 16" for 16 bits per pixel (which requires editing your gdm/xdm/kdm startup scripts), you can add
!DefaultDepth 16
into the "Screen" section of the XF86Config(5x) file (normally in the /etc/X11 directory).
+!! Not starting on boot
+
+If you want to get X to not start automatically when your system boots:
+
+;__RedHat, FedoraCore and related distros__ : edit [/etc/inittab|inittab(5)] and set the default runlevel to 3, instead of 5.
+;__[Debian]__:run update-rc.d to remove xdm(8)/gdm(8)/kdm(8) from the rc2.d directory.
