I can't access any of the virtual terminals as well.

~/.xsession-errors of both the users contains a single line saying
"exec: /usr/local/bin/xsm: not found"

And about /var/log/xdm.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log to be honest I have

Here is my /var/log/xdm.log  http://pastebin.com/hjCJ5Dx9
and /var/log/Xorg.0.log  http://pastebin.com/i0sSqayq
