xdm starts? It must not be starting comletely as it starts X itself. Try
disabling xdm by either uninstalling it (preffered) or doing a
"/etc/init.d/xdm stop" and then a "update-rc.d -f xdm remove" (I think,
please read the manpage first). Then try to startx. Maybe you will get
different error messages?
Do you have the svga xserver installed? I assume so because it should have
said "file not found" if you didn't...
