Gnome Display Manager

[Thomas Sapp]

How do I stop the GDM from starting up automatically?  Can I disable it
long enough to log in as root and install an update to my video
drivers?  I have tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and it just
restarts.  I have even tried gdm-stop after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 and
logging in, but GDM restarts.  I have heard of the ability to log in to
single user mode but I am not sure how to do that either.  I have
already done searches on the internet and I do not keep a running file
of emails from this list.  I am just asking for some help, please.
