If you want to switch away from the running X server managed by xdm, use
<CTRL-ALT-Fn> as you said.
If you want to stop xdm from managing the current server, press <CTRL-R> at
the xdm login screen.
If you want xdm to stop running, become root and use its init script to
tell it to stop ("/etc/init.d/xdm stop").
