Depends on the version of Mandrake you're using.  In 8.1, the 
shutdown command on the login screen gives you an option to go into 
command-line mode.

If you just want to set up another session in command line mode 
without killing your KDE session, Ctrl-Alt-F* will access different 
virtual sessions.

I don't know if there's a way to kill X and go into command line mode 
directly from a KDE session.

Control Centre -> Hardware -> X
If  you have more than one resolution set up, Ctrl-Alt-+ will cycle 
through them.

BTW, it's "X-window", not "X-windows" -- Windows is that other 
operating system!
