Yes I am sure. The
display manager is what is responsible for bringing up the graphical login stuff. When you uninstall the display managers, there is nothing that will bring up X automatically at system startup and you need to login at a virtual console ("text mode thingy") and execute
startx to start up X manually.
Display managers (kdm, gdm, xdm) are not to be confused with
window managers (fluxbox, twm, fvwm, sawfish, icewm, ...) nor with
desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, ...).
To uninstall whatever display managers you have, execute all these three commands to make sure you don't have any of the above mentioned display managers left.
Code:
apt-get remove kdm
apt-get remove gdm
apt-get remove xdm
