As fas as I know... it's not necessary to log out X to compile a kernel! Any how, just edit the /etc/inittab file and change the line: id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault: logout and you should be on prompt! If you got **really** locked into X, after the modification... reboot! To return to X, as before, just eidt that line.... from 3 (console/text mode) to 5 (graphic mode).
