have your /etc/X11/config file the right lines for xdm:
----
start-xdm
xdm-start-server
----

also, after change this lines, you need run xbase-configure. this
utility will create the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers with a line
indicating where xdm should start the xserver:

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16
 ^ ^^^^^
i think this could be your problem.

hope this help
