Bug#608038: installing xdm freezes the whole computer (ssh still works)
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.10-3
Severity: important
I just did apt-get install xdm
and nothign... no way to use the computer anymore.
I prefer wdm because it is much less buggy than xdm
but it is not in testing any longer because of issues
So there is single login X11 manager for linux (lightweigth)
best regards
