RE: Preventing xdm from starting
Well, I think there is a better way but I don't have a debian system now so the file names can changed.
In the /etc/X11 directory, in a file named config, you have the line "xdm-start" or "start-xdm". Change it in "no-xdm-start" or "no-start-xdm" or comment out it.
When the script /etc/init.d/xdm runs, it tests the presence of xdm-start line. If it doesn't find it, it doesn't launch xdm.

You can go to a open console with ALT+CONTROL+Fn. Then, if you really want
to stop X, you have to go to /etc/init.d/ and execute:
$/etc/init.d>./xdm stop.
If later on you want to restart it execute:
$/etc/init.d>./xdm start.
