That should be DISPLAYMANAGER=xdm

Shouldn't take long, the (partial) code that does it (from /etc/init.d/xdm) is:
local MY_XDM="$(echo ${DISPLAYMANAGER} | awk '{ print tolower($1) }')"
case "${MY_XDM}" in
kdm|kde|kde2|kde3)
EXE="$(which kdm)"
;;
<snip>
*)
EXE=
# Fix #65586, where MY_XDM is empty so EXE=somedir
[ -x "/usr/bin/${MY_XDM}" -a -f "/usr/bin/${MY_XDM}" ] \
&& EXE="/usr/bin/${MY_XDM}"
[ -z "${EXE}" ] && EXE="/usr/bin/xdm"
;;
esac
test ! -x "${EXE}" && EXE=/usr/bin/xdm
You can see it looks for DISPLAYMANAGER, uses the program 'which' to
determine if the requested display manager exists, and if it does not,
falls back to xdm (last line).
