Console login

I have SuSE 10.0 with KDE. SuSE uses a graphical login manager by default,
but I am interested in turning it off while tweaking the display driver.
That is, I would like SuSE initially to come up with a blank login screen,
and then you type "startx" to launch a graphical environment. I use Pine
for e-mail, so I might not even do this the first thing. Anyhow, how is
this modification done? (Actually, since I always use KDE in a graphical
environment, the login manager is just eye candy: I don't need it at all.
