Pressing CTRL ALT F1 will switch over from a graphical X console to a
text-only console, likewise for using the F2 to F6 keys.  F7 will get
you back to the graphical console (CTRL ALT F7).  X is still running in
the background, however.

To stop X you could issue a "telinit 3" command, and switch down to run
level 3.  You'll need to be the root user to issue that command.  You
can get back to run level 5 by using "telinit 5".  But if you just want
to restart X without changing levels, e.g. to test configuration changes
you've just made, you can type "startx".

That will set the mode the computer boots up in, it won't change the
mode it's currently working in.
