Edit /etc/inittab using your favorite text editor. Near the top you will find a line:
Change the "5" to a "3" and reboot. From now until you change it back to a "5", it will boot into text mode. At this point, you can repair any problems in your configuration. To start X, type
When you log off, it will return you to text mode.
Alternatively, if you want to run a display manager that respawns back to a graphics login screen each time you log out, instead of "startx" execute the display manager of your choice, "xdm", "kdm", "gdm", etc...
I like booting to level 3 because I never know ahead of time when I am going to screw something up.
