I'm not sure if I read your question right, but you want to the gnome login screen to stop coming up when you boot?
To stop the gnome login screen from coming up at boot (gdm), you can either stop the xdm service from loading automatically, or, you can change your rc.conf to use a different display manager.
Sounds like you probably want to do the first? Get into a console as root and do: | Code: | | rc-update del xdm default |
You can also stop the service if already started by doing: | Code: | | /etc/init.d/xdm stop |
If you just don't want to use gnome, gdm should allow you to choose a different session. IIRC, the new way to add to the session list is to create a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions. Take a look at the ones already there to get an idea how to create them I guess.
Grub shouldn't have anything to do with gnome.

At the login screen you can use the key
combination
to drop to a console, which should give you an opportunity
to investigate what's going on.
BTW:
should bring you back to X-mode. |

You meant [ALT]+[F7]?

Some multimedia keys refuse to work? See my mini-howto:

Doesn't Ctrl+Alt+F7 work too? Just an extra keystroke, but I think it works?
/me goes to check
Yah.. it works too.

When I first installed Gentoo, Ctrl-Alt-F7 didn't work for some reason
