I had it set to start on bootup through /etc/ttys, but then I switched it so that it starts whenever I want it to. Both ways, it still won't run more than once. I'm gonna try Ctrl+Alt+F7 or something else as someone posted and see if that works.

Probably in /etc/rc.conf. I believe you also have to set it to a virtual terminal in /etc/ttys. Do you want to have xdm come up when you boot up, or do you want to log in to the console and use X as needed?
