It's actually very simple.

I had the same problem. The broblem is that you probably have both gdm and xdm
running at the same time (at least that's what I had). I've stoped xdm and that
solved the problem.

You also should do:

update-rc.d -f xdm remove

to avoid this in the future.

Hope that would help.

Regards.
