 You should already have both - starting xdm doesn't prevent the console login
 from starting, it just switches your display window.  To get to your console
 login, hit CTL-ALT-F1 (F1 thru F6, actually).  To switch back to your X
 session, hit CTL-ALT-F6.

Oh, one more thing... if you decide NOT to start xdm anymore, change your
/etc/X11/config file and comment out the start-xdm line.
