Can you give details about your setup ? What is your video card ? your 
/etc/XF86Config file ? your xdm setup ? 

The most common cause for this problem is that the server could not
find a virtual terminal without a getty() process attached to it. The
getty and the X server will then fight for the keyboard access and
eventually lock up.

To avoid this, make sure that at least one of the virtual terminals
(ttyC0 - ttyC7) in /etc/ttys is marqued 'off', and that the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file uses this one as an argument to
X. 

For example, if you have ttyC4 as the first 'off' VT, the Xservers
file should contain:

	:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt05

(the X server numbers the VTs from 1 to 8, whereas the devices are
numbered from 0 to 7).
