Your almost there! I just fixed the same thing on this box: I'm not exactly sure what it was, but I deleted everything in the x11 section, including xdm. Then I did something like 'apt-get update; apt-get install xf86setup' and then 'apt-get install xdm'. After running xf86config, everything was good on alt-f7 (i.e. I could log in via xdm).
