Any user logged in on the console should be able to "startx" in the
default debian x11 configuration. Maybe you changed the setting to
root only.
To stop xdm, type: "/etc/init.d/xdm stop". The same for start,
restart and reload. The same for the other daemons and services that
are controlled by the "initscripts" in /etc/init.d/. Check out the
documentation in /usr/share/doc/sysvinit.
