Frozen cursor after logout; CLI escape



Two questions now that I've upgraded.

Debian always goes to a graphic login. I've tried changing /etc/inittab to runlevel 3, 4 and 5 but have never gotten a text login. How do I?

I have been using (since root obviously can't log in graphically) control-option-F1 to get a command line to use as root, but can't figure out how to toggle back out of that (to the user login) and when I try to log in as my user, the screen tells me there's already an xserver running (the existing graphic login screen).

Tried doing control-option-F1 (hoping for a toggle), command z, command x, etc. But can't seem to leave that screen.

Also, whenever I do use graphic login to start a user session, and then logout to the graphic login screen, may cursor is *always* frozen, even though it just worked in the previous session.
