Your init files probably start 'xdm' at startup. To fix this,
look in /etc/inittab for a line like this:
# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:
The number 2 beteen the colons means that my default runlevel
is 2. To see what programs start up in runlevel 2 I do this:
$ ls /etc/rc2.d/
If you see something like "SS99xdm" then this means xdm will be
started on startup in runlevel 2, the standard default runlevel
in Debian.
To prevent xdm from being started, you can do this:
mv SS99xdm xSS99xdm
After that you have to start X with "startx".
