To stop X and get back to the text-based console, you have to list the last application that was in the .xinitrc file. This last application could be the window manager, an xterm, or just about any application. When you quit X Window by stopping this application, you return to your character- or text-based terminal.
Another way to kill the window manager (and X) is to use the Ctrl-Alt -Backspace combination. This is not the preferred way of doing things because a more graceful way is to have the window
manager be the last program started in the .xinitrc file, and exit from it to stop X and get back to console.
