You did not need to comment out the
x:5:once:/etc/X11/prefdm --no-daemon

line. The 5 after the x: means run at run level 5. If you look at
the line:

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1

The 2345 after the 1: mean run at run levels 2, 3, 4, and 5. The 1:
and x: are the id for the line. They can be one to four characters
long, but you can not have duplicates. You can get more information
about the format of the file by running "man inittab".
