If you're running an X window manager from the system init scripts (look
for a file matching /etc/init.d/*dm), you want to stop it. The
following should work though it's a bit broad:
$ for file in /etc/init.d/*dm; do $file stop; done
...this should stop your X windows session.
Otherwise, look for processing matching 'x':
$ ps lax | grep -i x
...again, that's broad, but one of these should be your X windows
process. Likely candidates include xdm, kdm, gdm, wdm, xinit, startx,
X, XF86_SVGA, XF86_S3, etc.
