ahhh thanks for the tip

I did some digging in the package list and I am no seeing a package for
lxdm, which is what I believe it use to be and it's not there.

So equo install lxdm

and I edited the xdm.service file and it's set to xdm so I edited for lxdm

/usr/sbin/lxdm

restarted xdm and I got the lxdm and was able to log into xfce desktop

So two things - need to have lxdm and edit xdm.service file pointing to it
