Why not disable xdm from running by using rcconf, or removing the xdm
package if you're not using it for a while.
However shutting down xdm using CTRL-R and then running startx does work
on my system without any tampering...

If you boot to the xdm login window, don't login but key and hold ctrl
then key r (those two keys in sequnce) you will go to the command line
login, and login. My machine will not allow me to startx after that, and I
have to reboot. I havn't figured out how to get it to do that yet. Maybe
someone on the list knows. The Xresources file lists the keystrokes you can
do at the login window.
