Indeed it does, with no questions asked.
But then it just springs back to life again, with a login prompt (at least with xdm here).
Let's pretend my monitor is being borrowed for a few days and being replaced by a VT100, and I want to properly end all X processes and revert to plain tty mode, without rebooting or editing any files.
#/etc/init.d/xdm stop
Probably best done when the display manager is in the login screen state, but works anytime...
Or, if you want to get X out of the way, edit /etc/inittab , look for the lines :
# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:
and replace the runlevel 2 with 1.
