<ctrl><alt><backspace> will kill X unless the option <DontZap> has
been set in xorg.conf || XF86Config.

However, it's unlikely that killing X will give you a shell login (X
is typically started by a display manager e.g. KDM -- so killing X
will simply bounce you back to your login screen.

If you want a console login, use <ctrl><alt><F1> (or F2, F4, etc.).
Note that this will work even with X running.

Happy hacking!
