(In +other words, the xdm login screen occupies one virtual console +automatically at boot.) If one does not wish to run a local X server, the +following line should be commented out of /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers: + +:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -deferglyphs 16 + +Several configuration files are shipped with the xdm package; they reside +in the /etc/X11/xdm/ directory. Extensive documentation about the xdm +configuration files may be found in the xdm(1) manual page. + +xdm-config contains X resources specific to xdm itself. See the X(1) +manual page for more information about X resources, and the xdm(1) manual +pages for documentation of the available xdm resources. + +Xresources contains X resources that are designed to be specfic to sessions +running under xdm. Note that this file does contain the resource entries +for xdm itself -- those are contained in the file xdm-config. See the X(1) +manual page for more information about X resources. + +The above three files, despite being X resource files, are not placed in the +/etc/X11/Xresources directory (see /opt/kde3/share/doc/xbase/README.Debian) because +they should not be used automatically in all X sessions; the /etc/X11/Xsession +script merges in the resources of all files found in /etc/X11/Xresources, and +this action would be inappropriate for these resource files. + +Xservers contains entries to start the X server(s) on the local machine, and +on any remote X terminals that do not support XDMCP. This file is internally +documented. + +Xaccess determines what hosts on the network may use the services of the +running xdm daemon. This file is internally documented. Note that as of +version 3.3.4-1 of the xdm package, all remote XDMCP access is turned off +by default. + +Xstartup is a shell script which is run (as root) after a user has logged in +on a server. + +Xreset is a shell script which is run (as root) after a user's X session ends on +a server. + +xdm.options contains configuration options for xdm that are specific to the +Debian GNU/Linux system.
