A judicious 'exit' statement in /etc/init.d/xdm will return the console login to you, if you don't want to remove the xdm package altogether (which is possibly the better solution if you're planning to use kdm). You can find which files a package provides using `dpkg -L xdm`. There are sure to be other ways.
