It's actually very simple.
I had the same problem. The broblem is that you probably have both gdm and xdm
running at the same time (at least that's what I had). I've stoped xdm and that
solved the problem.
You also should do:
update-rc.d -f xdm remove
to avoid this in the future.
Hope that would help.
Regards.
