Just as a follow-up, in case anyone else had the same problem:
I installed gdm with aptitude, and that appears to work just fine. I
still have no idea what's wrong with xdm, but for the moment it's not an
issue.
Cheers,
Tyler

Well, it is not really that big a problem. However, I *would* like to
know why it doesn't work. The only feature I'm missing without xdm is a
convenient button to click to shutdown my computer, as an alternative to
"shutdown -h now". I know xdm doesn't have one built-in, but it wasn't
too hard

No, that's what I did the first time. I tried /etc/init.d/xdm restart
both from within X, and when that failed to produce any messages, after
closing X. It didn't produce any error messages or anything else.

I've always
Ok, I've fixed the resolution problem. Somewhere in my
upgrading/configuring I lost the 1280x1024 setting from my xorg.conf
file, which was easily fixed. Now I just need to know how to get my
graphical login back.

Thanks for your help. In response to your questions:
I'm using xdm
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
didn't do anything - I entered it into a terminal after starting x, and another prompt appeared.
No error messages or anything else. I tried again after closing X, both as me and as root, same result.
