Re: xdm on a headless machine

["Jens B. Jorgensen" <jjorgens@bdsinc.com>]

You would edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers as this is the file which dictates what X servers
are managed my xdm. The line for the local server tells xdm to start that server. Thus
you can comment out this line to prevent xdm from starting X on the local machine (and
thus "taking over the console").
