It sounds like you have xdm running. I don't much like it either - it is difficult to get to pure console with that thing in the way.
As a temp fix you can /bin/su root and run killall xdm. this will blow away X and take you to console login. If you want it never to show up again, you should K out the service in whichever of the /etc/rcX.d/ folders it is in. I assume /etc/rc2.d/, but I'm not sure.
