If xdm is starting it should throw you into a graphic login.  If you
remain at the command prompt type login then something is wrong with xdm. 
Check the /var/log xdm-errors file.

To disable xdm just change the name of the file in /etc/rc2.d from S99xdm
to K99xdm or any other name that doesn't have an "S#" the "S#" tells init
to start it.  The "K#" tells init to kill it.

This is assuming you start in init 2.  If you use any other init just go
into the appropriate directory.  Init 3 - /etc/rc3.d etc...
