Well, try it this way. Start up normally, then do

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

this will drop you right out of X rather suddenly ;-)  into a tty (command line virtual terminal - I expect tty1 )

Do your installation steps, then run

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start 

to return to a login screen in X... but,

Are you sure you actually need to do this? What kind of video card do you have? Perhaps if it's a 3D card from nvidia or ATI you should read
