This is a bug in xdm (reported). Try removing the link in /etc/rc?.d that starts xdm. Better solution is removing xdm and installing it again when it's fixed. I'm not at my box now, so I can't give the exact answer, but I want to do the same because it seems to lock up my keyboard (another bug, but this may be limited to Branden's beta build).
