	Debian doesnt mess with run levels to get xdm/wdm started at
run time.  It merely starts wdm just as any service in the SysV init
seq by adding links from the /etc/rc2.d/ dir to the script in
/etc/init.d  to remove or add services do $ man update-rc.d   But for
all the definitive info read the debian policy manual
(/usr/doc/debian-policy/).

Is your X server setup properly?  If not boot into single user mode,
and do # update-rc.d -f wdm remove
reconfigure X, check it out, and then man update-rc.d and add wdm in
by doing something like  # update-rc.d wdm defaults
