I agree, there should be some way to turn it off from within X but there isn't.
What is supposed to work is the -c option to X or xinit when you start the
server but that hasn't worked for me. What I do is start x in another
virtual terminal.
csh> open xinit
and then after x is running I switch back to the hft using the alt-act key.

and then again use the alt-act key to switch back to your x screen.
