I don't know why it does not work for you. The following should work. Change /etc/inittab to include: id:3:initdefault: Then reboot, login into a virtual terminal and start X yourself using startx or xinit command. This will surely call your ~/.xinitrc. There will be no chance GNOME is started unless you do this in your ~/.xinitrc. Of course there are other ways to achieve this, even in init level 5.
