Xdm from Free86-4.1.0_3 works fine here.

Make sure you've deleted your xdm config files between 3.x and 4.x &
installed fresh ones for 4.x.  I vaguely remember that some config
files changed between 3.x and 4.x & that might cause your problem.

Also, I don't know how you got 4.1.0 to build.  I just comitted a fix
to the FreeBSD port last night.  You are building from the ports
collection, aren't you?
