Hmm... if you have update-rc.d installed (this is Debian based, yes?), then
	update -f gdm remove
will do the trick. This removes all links to gdm from the /etc/rcX.d
directories while leaving gdm in /etc/init.d untouched.

If gdm is still running, you'll have to stop it...
	/etc/init.d/gdm stop[A

HTH,
