put it in rc.local, this is the right place. XDM starts on the first unused
console.

in /etc/rc.local:
# path for xdm
XDMP=/usr/X11R6/bin
# set to YES to start xdm
xdm_start=YES
and on bottom:
#--------------------------------------------------
# if desired, start xdm
#--------------------------------------------------
if [ X${xdm_start} = X"YES" -a -x $XDMP/xdm ]
then
$XDMP/xdm
fi
# EOF
