My 3200 has a local display and a Visual 640 connected to it,
both running xdm quite happily.  here's the xdm-config file
from exile.lcs.mit.edu:

DisplayManager.servers:			/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
DisplayManager.errorLogFile:		/usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors
DisplayManager.pidFile:			/usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid
DisplayManager..0.openRepeat:		10
DisplayManager.extol.0.resources:	/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources.extol
DisplayManager.extol.0.authorize:	false
DisplayManager*session:			/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
DisplayManager*resources:		/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources

Some of these entries will not apply to your version of xdm, I'm
working on some new features...
The Xservers file:

:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -fp
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
extol:0 foreign frobnotz

Note the magic "frobnotz" which trails the foreign line.  This is
a work around for a "feature" in xdm which no longer exists.

and the resource file Xresources.extol:

xlogin*borderWidth: 3
xlogin*greeting: Use more honey.  Find out what she knows.
xlogin*namePrompt: Big Bootee?:  
xlogin*passwdPrompt: Engage Overthruster:  
xlogin*fail: There are monkey boys in the complex.
