Been there, done that, but will do it again since I could have missed
something. BTY in the rc*.d directories there is the K99xdm and S99xdm
files to bring up Xwindows at boot time but they do the same thing as
xdm does from the command line, apparently nothing.
The console messages appear to me like the Xclient isn't coming up for
the server to connect to.
Being new to Linux I have found that many things take several tries to
get them right. Also so much of the how-tos are slanted toward
Slackware and Redhat and are just enough different from Debian to cause
some confusion. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.
