-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- If xdm is starting it should throw you into a graphic login. If you remain at the command prompt type login then something is wrong with xdm. Check the /var/log xdm-errors file.
To disable xdm just change the name of the file in /etc/rc2.d from S99xdm to K99xdm or any other name that doesn't have an "S#" the "S#" tells init to start it. The "K#" tells init to kill it. This is assuming you start in init 2. If you use any other init just go into the appropriate directory. Init 3 - /etc/rc3.d etc...
