Problem: delete SLIM from DAEMONS whitout using a shell

Hi I'm a newbie of Arch and I'm trying to end the installation. I've done some mistakes I think because I've commented out the line exec xterm and now SLIM start but I don't have the shell. I just want to return to non graphic shell!
Another problem is that X doesn't stop whit control-alt-backspace
What I have to do?

Thanks a lot

look into single user mode and the xorg wiki (trobleshooting).

You can try "exit" or "console" in slim as username (where you would put your username).

USAGE AND SPECIAL USERNAMES
       When started, slim will show a login panel; enter the username and password of the user  you  want  to
       login as.

       Special usernames:

       console
              open a xterm console

       exit   quit slim

       halt   shutdown the machine

       reboot reboot the machine

       suspend
              power-suspend the machine
