I've received a number of suggesions for my X problem. Before I try any of them I'd like to disable my graphical login screen. It is either gpm or gdm. I can't remember which one is the login screen and which is the console mouse driver.
I don't know if these are the correct expansions of the acronyms, but I think of them as Gnome Display Manager (gdm) and General Purpose Mouse (gpm).
Anyway, I'm hoping that there is a line in a file I can comment out.
Lots of ways to do what you want; if it's just a temporary thing for a few boots, I'd add "exit 0" as the first executable line in /etc/init.d/gdm
