It won't. Check out /etc/inittab. Near the end is prefdm. That checks
for preferences and starts it up. My 5.x has no xdm on it. I presume
that the /usr/bin/Xorg or /usr/sbin/gdm-binary is what gets started. Do
a ps long form and grep for X and dm for a big clue.

You'll probably need to read the info or man pages for that (if any:
otherwise various local *docs* directories or the Xorg website or google
will be needed) and set up whatever to specify a ":1" server instance.
When you've tested it manually, then probably a good thing might be to
invoke it from rc.local.

Opinions may vary on this. I wish I had kept up on this acould help
more.
