You want to run the "xdm" program. The best way to do this will depend on
which Linux distribution you are using. In Slackware, for example, runlevel
4 initializes the system with xdm. So you'd change the line near the
beginning of /etc/inittab that (on my system) reads:
id:3:initdefault
to read
id:4:initdefault
I would expect that your distribution of choice has some help either in the
comments in /etc/inittab or somewhere in the rc* scripts (located either in
/etc/rc.d/ or /sbin/rc.d/, depending on the distribution).
Hope this helps. Good luck.
