Sorry I don't know the specifics for xdm (I use gdm), but in general
you can find out where the config files are for a given package by
looking at what files it puts in /etc

dpkg -L xdm | grep etc

However, I think you are better to first re-run the configuration
scripts:

dpkg-reconfigure xdm

or 

dpkg-reconfigure -plow xdm

If you can't set what you want with dpkg-reconfigure, then try editing
the files in /etc by hand.

Cheers,

Nick.
