(x)ubuntu being "helpfull" I guessTom te tom te tomTo stop X running automatically change the default runlevel in /etc/inittab.
Does that work in Ubuntu? I thought that was a RedHat and it's derivatives thing. It's certinaly not applicable for Debian. (unless things have changed and I've not noticed)
The way I disable auto starting is by not installing xdm/gdm/kdm or any other *dm type of startup program, then use startx myself.
It might be worth grepping /etc/init.d and seeing what's there... Althoug I guess googling might help too..
