Far as I can tell, it already does. I have absolutely no recollection
of setting it myself and yet `ps ax' says:
220 ? S 0:17 /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -deferglyphs 16 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-BmWLWd
I'm using the following on potato
ii xserver-common 3.3.6-9 files and utilities common to all X servers
ii xserver-svga 3.3.6-9 X server for SVGA graphics cards
ii xdm 3.3.6-8 X display manager
