| Jeff, could you please explain how you get xdm to work, reference materials,
and especially, how to get it to work with the vt1000 ?
Thank you.

| It's been quite a while since I played with it, and I have given away the
machine that was running it. I'll tell you what I remember, which may or may
not be relevant to the vt1000.
You have to install the mit x11 subset. You have to change the line in
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to point at your X server. You need a file
$HOME/.xsession, in which you put commands to start all the things you want
to start when you log in. It is equivalent to .X11Startup. It is a sh script.
When your .xsession exits, xdm assumes that you have logged out, and recycles,
so the last thing in the script has to be a command that blocks until you log
out. It is generally an xterm, which you log out of when you want to quit
the session.
