For LinuxPPC it's in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, and the line should be
0=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -nomacgamma

XDM and KDM use the same configuration files - in /etc/X11/xdm. For this
situation, you'd need /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. There's only one line in it:
/usr/X11R6/bin/X
Give that the appropriate arguments (-nomacgamma) and you should be set.
Hope that helps,
