Check that xdm is enabled in /etc/X11/config. You should not have the lines:
no-start-xdm
no-xdm-start-server
I don't know exactly what each line does, but if you put the lines
start-xdm
xdm-start-server
in /etc/X11/config, xdm will start at boot time (you can switch to a VT and end
it with /etc/init.d/xdm stop at any time).
I didn't have to modify the Xservers file.
You may want to add xbanner in your /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 file, to get
a pretty background, but more important, xscreensaver.
