remove the reference to XDM in the startup scripts, deinstall XDM, or remove the symlinks to XDM in /etc/rcX.d directories (this just prevents it from starting, does not remove it). XDM can be a pain. At one point X setup crashed halfway through, leaving a corrupted setup file. Next boot, XDM sees a setup file, starts X, blank screen. Ctrl-Alt-BS, X closes, XDM sees X is down, XDM starts X, eternal loop (at the time the machine had no network card, so using telnet to kill XDM was not possible...).
