Depends on your system. If it's ubuntu it would likely be
in /etc/lightdm.conf.

See which display manager is running (gdm,kdm,xdm) and look for an
appropriate config file or remove the display manager and use startx
after logging into the console. You may find certain things break in
the latter case often without any need for breakage at all and
personally I see that as a bug and flaky programming in many cases but
others call it 'modern' ;-).
