Try Ctrl+Alt+F2 key combination to go to text terminal, use Ctrl+Alt+F9 to come back to Gnome or whatever you are running on top of X.
If you want to totally disable X11 open /etc/ttys file, find the line that says:
ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
comment it out, save the file and reboot.
