Hi all.. about 2 weeks ago, I installed debian 2.2r2. During the package install phase, I checked off the X packages (simple menu). Along with all the X packages, xdm and xfs were also installed. Naturally I assumed that xdm and xfs were necessary parts of X. However, this weekend I installed the various XF86 packages (xserver-vga16, xserver-common, xf86setup, fvwm, and a few others) using apt-get onto a different machine. I chose not to install the xdm and xfs. much to my amazement startx works perfectly. why does X work without xdm and xfs?
