1) Don't do that! Seriously, log in as a regular user, if you need to
do something as root, su, and be sure to hit ^D when you're doing
what you need to as superuser. If you, for whatever reason, need
an X display as root, use xhost or xauth (I'm not horribly familiar
with the usage of either command).
2) meta-ctrl-f1 should take you out of X to a console so you can log
in and shut down.
