I included a section on my Wiki page specifically for this:
http://jswails.wikidot.com/installing-amber12-and-ambertools-12#toc19
The directions may not directly apply (look at the note about KDE and kdm
as opposed to GNOME and gdm). In which case, googling "kill x server
<distro>" where <distro> is your linux variant is probably your best bet.
Good luck,
Jason
