I picked up Debian Linux on the Boot magazine CD-ROM, and have been trying for a couple of days to get it working the way I want it too, with little success. What's the deal with xdm? My understanding was that that was the program used to login under X, without having to login from a console and then issue a startx command. During installation I told the program I wanted to start X with xdm; I see a message when I boot about xdm being started, and then I log in to a console. Then if I try to use startx like I'm used to, I get a bunch of error messages about some missing socket thing (I'm not at home right now so I can't quote the exact error), then I get an error message about not finding xinit. Anybody know what I did wrong, or what I need to do?
