If you don't like xdm at all, then remove the xdm package by issuing

  dpkg --purge xdm

if you just dont want to be started as default, then remove the link to
/etc/init.d/xdm in /etc/rc.d by issuing the command 

  rm /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm

you can then manualy start and stop it by issuing

  /etc/init.d/xdm start

or 

  /etc/init.d/xdm stop

(all commands as root)
