If you can't switch tty, you can always boot in single user mode to change the permissions of /etc/init.d/xdm as Dave pointed out. Since you're using an old world mac, I assume you use BootX. Simply add the word 'single' to the kernel arguments, and boot into Linux to change the permission. You can then remove it again, and boot normally, but without X starting automatically.

If you're using the new input layer, running dmesg | grep mouse will hopefully give you something like: ADB mouse at 3, handler set to 4 (trackpad) mouse1: PS/2 mouse device for input3 This is just an example, and you may get a different mouseX. Anyway, in this example, the device you should be using is /dev/input/mouse1. Make a link to /dev/mouse (ln -s /dev/input/mouse1 /dev/mouse), and edit your XF86Config to use /dev/mouse with the PS/2 protocol. This will hopefully get your mouse working, but since X crashes it seems like you're using the wrong server. I've never heard of a mis-configured mouse making X crash. -- Karl Söderström <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
