This happens when more than one display manager or getty tries to
handle a virtual console.

Check /etc/inittab which is the first unclaimed by getty console. Then 
check that xdm uses this one in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers .

Also make sure xdm doesn't try to use the same console as wdm, gdm or
login.app
