Eric and Paul

At the very least, the X  (or xdm) package should let you 
get X working  before activating xdm. I had a really bad
turn with my new machine that has an SiS 6326, and Slink 
(frozen). X didn't work, but xdm did. 

My X now works, but not without using single user to kill 
xdm, and some playing with XF86Config and lots of RTFM, 
several of them, Readmes and HOWTOs too.

<flame> Thanks for this. May it be plastered on the walls
of the X developers. </flame>
