Yea, make sure that you only have ONE xdm running for the server, in
this case your console.  I had this very problem with one of our
X-terminals.  This is a very nice example of a race condition and every
now and then one of them (xdm) wins.

Note, there should be one xdm for each Xserver connection so don't kill
all the xdm's :-)
