Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.10-3
Severity: wishlist
Hi Xdm,
I would like to give a few wishlist.
The output of the command returns :
$ less X11/xdm/xdm-config

DisplayManager.authDir: /var/lib/xdm

! All displays should use authorization, but we cannot be sure
! X terminals will be configured to support it, so those that do not will

! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
X11/xdm/xdm-config (END)
This file is actually the config.
For users that would like to have xdm running onto :0 :1 and :2, the "DisplayManager.requestPort: 0" is quite obscur for understanding.
Into GDM configuration it was more straightforward to understand what it mean and how to add additional :0 :1 .. gdm.
Please could you update the config making it easier to modify.
Actually to set up : :0 ... until :6, shall I use "DisplayManager.requestPort: 1"
...
DisplayManager.requestPort: 6
?
Thanks for maintaining XDM !
Its light, it rocks, and we need solutions ligthweight simple like XDM !!
Thank you very much !
