Thank you Henry. Sorry, yes I have Red Hat 7.1.
That works.

This depends on your distribution. On Debian, xdm is started
by a script,
/etc/init.d/xdm. Symbolic links to this script live in the
directories
/etc/rcN.d, where N is the runlevel. So if your system
starts up to runlevel 2
by default (Debian does this), all the links with names
beginning with S (for
start) are called with the 'start' argument. If you don't
want xdm to start,
remove the symlink, which will be called /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm.
(The number may
vary and serves only to change the ordering.)
If you use a Red Hat derivative, the default runlevel is 3
and there is no
xdm on runlevel 2. To change the default runlevel to 2, edit
/etc/inittab to
change the line
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:2:initdefault:
As a third possibility, you could uninstall xdm.
