Bug#237878: xdm should reflect XFree86 4.0s change from -bpp to -depth
Package: xdm
Subject: xdm should reflect XFree86 4.0s change from -bpp to -depth
Version: 4.3.0-5
Severity: minor
Tags: patch sid
XFree86 changed a command-line option from -bpp to -depth, but while the
xdm manpages describe this change, xdm's Xservers file still uses the
old option.
Here's a patch that adds the -depth option to the description and
replaces the old -bpp in the example lines.

# When adding X servers, please keep the following things in mind:
# - For each X server other than :0, the display number must be on the command
# line.
-# - This is the place to add the -bpp option to the command line.
+# - This is the place to add the -depth or -bpp option to the command line.
# - It is wise to add the vtXX option to each local X server, since this is
# the only sure way of knowing in advance which X server attaches to which
# console.
# - See the Xserver(1) manpage for a description of X server options.

# Examples for multiple local X displays:
-# :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt9 -bpp 16
-# :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt10 -bpp 8
+# :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt9 -depth 16
+# :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt10 -depth 8
