Your almost there!
I just fixed the same thing on this box:
I'm not exactly sure what it was, but I deleted everything in
the x11 section, including xdm. Then I did something like
'apt-get update; apt-get install xf86setup' and then
'apt-get install xdm'. After running xf86config, everything
was good on alt-f7 (i.e. I could log in via xdm).
Hth, ymmv.
