Go to /etc/X11/config and uncomment the last line that says 
#start-xdm

This will automaticly start xdm on the login.
Also, make sure that there is a symbolic link to execute xdm
in /etc/rcX.d , where X is a runlevel number.
(link should be present in all of them and look like this
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 Nov  1 17:25 S99xdm ->
../init.d/xdm)
