Change x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
to x:3:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon in /etc/inittab to get it to run in runlevel 3. You might also remove the "-nodaemon". If you're using gdm, you also need to set Enable=true under the [xdmcp] section of /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf This is all from memory, so it may not be entirely accurate, but give it a try.
