You should already have both - starting xdm doesn't prevent the console login from starting, it just switches your display window. To get to your console login, hit CTL-ALT-F1 (F1 thru F6, actually). To switch back to your X session, hit CTL-ALT-F6. > 2.

I can't imagine it would, but I don't use GNOME. However I do use KDE and have no problems with that environment. Also, I can use either xdm or kdm with KDE for my logins. -Jay
