Are you sure it's not in /etc/inittab? Else, look for a file
/etc/rc.d/(init.d/)?dm and make it non-executable, or maybe there's a link
to it in rc3.d . If you find out its filename ("foo" for
/etc/rc.d/(init.d/)foo), then you can try "chkconfig --del foo".

You can always get to a console login even if X starts; ctrl-alt-F[1-6],
but that probably isn't sufficient. :-)
