xdm runs the server for you. Kill your X server, and run xdm as root.
It starts the server, gives you a login greeting and prompt, and then runs
the appropriate window manager and so on after you log in. When you
log out, it kills the server and starts a new one with the login
greeting.

I have noticed two more problems with 1.1
First, after upgrading from 0.93R6, I'm left with a file /tmp/base.postinst
(I assume the base package didn't clean itself up properly -- I removed the
auto cleaning of /tmp and /var/tmp from the crontabs and boot scripts).
Second, the '-' used in syslog.

on X, looking for a remembered reference to the key strokes necessary for
changing the display mode while in X. I was unable to find the reference.
I did find hints that the default mode could be changed but can't figure

I haven't seen it yet in 0.93R6 though I don't have everything
