Xdm and console lock up problem -any solutions

[krishnav]

I was testing xdm for the first time and everytime I kill xdm the console
gets locked up.  Thatis, every time I try to login th it would do nothing
but scroll up.  I couldn't type anything.  Is there any solution to this?
Also how can I kill xdm from x11 (we are running X11R3)

Thanks in advance
