If ctrl+alt+bksp just restarts X, you need to do this.
Replacing del with add will put it back to the way it was.Code:rc-update del xdm default

rather than removing it from the runlevel you would be better to switch to a console (vt) with CTRL + ALT + F1 or F2/3/4 etc then run this command:
"/etc/init.d/xdm stop"
that will stop xdm (xdm aplies to gdm/kdm/entrance as well) you can restart it by changing stop to startProud to be a GNU/Gentoo Linux user!
