Yes, it is located in /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm. Because
there is a shortcut in /usr/bin/X11, it is the same as
in /usr/X11R6/bin.

Hi!
How do I set xdm as default? I have tried:
rcconf and select xdm and
/etc/init.d/xdm start
but message shows:
Not starting X display manager (xdm); it is not the

but I do not know how to

If xdm is installed, edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager to read
/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm.

First, you really should use aptitude to install and remove stuff. Try
that first.
In general, copying the error messages is more likely to generate
helpful answers that just saying you cannot :)

Hi,
I have run: dpkg --purge gdm, dpkg-reconfigure -plow
xdm
I have modified /etc/X11/default-display-manager, it
shows:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
After I reboot, it still shows that xdm is not the
default display manager.
