type at at command prompt (as root)
/etc/init.d/gdm stop

Once you install the driver, simply type (as root):
reboot

or

/etc/init.d/gdm start

to restart the xserver.

Good luck!

You can test it now!
just edit /etc/apt/sources.list :
Replace viola with boss in these lines :

# Parsix Official
deb http://packages.parsix.org/official viola main contrib non-free
deb-src http://packages.parsix.org/official viola main contrib non-free

# Parsix Continent
deb http://packages.parsix.org/continent viola main contrib non-free
deb-src http://packages.parsix.org/continent viola main contrib non-free
like this :

# Parsix Official
deb http://packages.parsix.org/official boss main contrib non-free
deb-src http://packages.parsix.org/official boss main contrib non-free

# Parsix Continent
deb http://packages.parsix.org/continent boss main contrib non-free
deb-src http://packages.parsix.org/continent boss main contrib non-free
and then (as root) :
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
you can test boss with 2.6.26-parsix4 kernel and report bugs (if have!)
