To start up the server using xinit, type:
prompt% xinit -- $X11R6HOME/bin/X
You may also add any other standard command line arguments to
the end of the line. For additional information on the use of xinit,
refer to the xinit man page.
4.4 xdm
The X Display Manager (xdm) program is used for running multiple
users on the same host machine. xdm provides services similar to
those provided by init, getty and login on character terminals
prompting for login name and password, authenticating the user,
and running a session. It provides a login window for each user or
selected users.
Several files that are required to start xdm are provided in the
directory /etc/X11/xdm (depending on the distribution on your
system, the path to these files might be different). The
configuration file, xdmconfig, contains references to the other
files and is used to specify other configuration parameters of xdm.
The Xservers file specifies the users (displays) that must get a
login window.
The Xservers file will have individual lines to represent the X
server startup on each of the display devices on which an xdm
login screen is desired. Once the configuration file is properly
configured, a typical Xservers file should contain only one
uncommented line, such as the following example:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
Other command line arguments may be added to end of the line.
For more information on xdm, refer to the xdm man pages.
NOTE: Make sure that the environment is set as described in
Section 4.1.
