To the OP:
Try opening a terminal and typing:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure *dm*
where the first * is whatever dm you are already using and the last
one is for anything after the 'dm' part. For instance, if your dm is
gdm3:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
I use xdm and the output of the command
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xdm
for me is a dialog box offering xdm, wdm and gdm3.
Choose which you want.
