/var/log/XFree86.0.log is clean with no errors. I did find an Xservers~ file
and looked at that. It had :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07. I changed the
Xservers to the same line, now I get a login in XDM where the keyboard input
is accepted, but when I logout, I get the login screen again and the only
way to shutdown is ctl+alt+f2 and ctl+alt+del.

For Oisin's question, here is the xdm file from /etc/pam.d

#%PAM-1.0
auth     required       pam_unix.so     nullok #set_secrpc
account  required       pam_unix.so
password required       pam_unix.so     #strict=false
session  required       pam_unix.so     debug # trace or none
session  required       pam_devperm.so

Well, this is a bit bizarre.  I have the 75dpi fonts installed, but I
took them out of my XFree86Config, so I can't access them with
xfontsel.  /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources calls for them: "xlogin*font:
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-103-iso8859-1" just
like yours, and xdm works fine for me without them.  So I guess it uses
a "close-enough" match, so your lack of a perfect match should not be a
problem.

Your log file says "Warning: Cannot convert..." so maybe that's not a
showstopper.

Your log also says Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".  I take it that
the file you posted is /var/log/xdm-errors?  What does XFree86.0.log
say?
