|  |     Jeff, could you please explain how you get xdm to work, reference materials,
    and especially, how to get it to work with the vt1000 ?
    Thank you.

|  | It's been quite a while since I played with it, and I have given away the 
machine that was running it.  I'll tell you what I remember, which may or may
not be relevant to the vt1000.
You have to install the mit x11 subset.  You have to change the line in
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers to point at your X server.  You need a file
$HOME/.xsession, in which you put commands to start all the things you want
to start when you log in.  It is equivalent to .X11Startup.  It is a sh script.
When your .xsession exits, xdm assumes that you have logged out, and recycles,
so the last thing in the script has to be a command that blocks until you log
out.  It is generally an xterm, which you log out of when you want to quit
the session.
