The easiest way to stop your display manager from loading is to change the link in /etc/rc2.d from S??yourdisplaymanager to K??yourdisplaymanager. Since I don't know what display manager you are using, I have to be that general. On my system, I use gdm. I would change S99gdm to K99gdm in /etc/rc2.d to keep Debian from starting the display manager. Then, I can use startx from a text console to start X-windows. Hope this helps.
