The easiest way I know of doing it is:

1) Log in as root first;
2) press Alt-F2 and type xconfigurator
3) You should get a window informing you of the location of your 
video card. Press OK
4) Select the monitor type from the next 2 windows
5) Set your preferred resolution
6) Number of colours
7) Select whether you want acceleration to be active
8) And...this is what you want: switch between text or graphical login method!

I'm sure there are geekier ways of achieving this, but I'm a Linux 
newbie, so I try to go for the easiest and most user-friendly ;-)
