Can you connect to the X server with something simple like xterm? 'xterm
&' should open a terminal window that you can type in. If that works,
then you know it's something in the xdm setup.

If that DOESN'T work, then I suspect the X server can't figure out where
the keyboard and pointer devices are. Those get identified in your
XF86Config file, so you are probably right that that error message is
related to your problem.
