 I have had similar problems. I think it is caused because xdm is starting
 up on wrong console. To fix the problem under Linux using Xorg's xdm my
 xdm/Xservers configuration has:
 :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp
 
 (You mention that xdm doesn't have this problem, because I assume it
 starts on correct console.)
 
 This is a very common problem.
 
 Maybe check your kdmrc configuration to see if it has:
 
 ServerVTs=-7
