RE: xdm question from a newbie

Xdm works fine ( when you have the X configured correctly) in hamm as
well. Just install xdm, and it will work.
If you ever want to get rid of it, edit the 
/etc/X11/config file and comment the line that says 
'start-xdm'
Same, to get it to work again,
uncomment that line.

 Hello Debian-user,
 
   I now have Debian with X running smoothly and I want to add xdm
   login. I have tried to find information about xdm, but I can not
   find much (maybe I am blind?). The little I have found is
   very...ummm...cryptic :)
 
   What I want is for xdm to start my X sessions like startx does now.
   Is it a simple way to do this that could be posted here? Or could someone
 please point me to
   some relevant on-line documentation.
 
   Also: How do I make xdm start by default?
 

Upgrade to at least slink and install the xdm package.  XDM automatically
starts and X session and displays a login prompt.
