Ubuntu is derived from debian, so probably starts the display manager
from an init script, not from inittab.  You should change the default
runlevel back to 2, since some other things may expect this, then do
one of these

  update-rc.d -f gdm remove

or 

  rm /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm

This is common in Red Hat and similar distributions, but not standard
by any means.
