I beleive when you install the xbase package it asks you if you'd like to
start xdm upon boot. .. try adding 'start-xdm' to /etc/X11/config (take a

I believe an appropriate entry in /etc/rc5.d is where the debian package

package postinstall asks you if you'd like to log directly into xdm. It's
a symbolic link to /etc/init.d/xdm.
