Hi Scott, 

I use linux Suse 5.1 and a guy form SuSe support told me to 
do the following thing:


 id:2:initdefault:
 just change the "2" to a "3"...but(!!):
 make sure you are able to start X and the XDM!...



> Does 'startx' work on your system?

"Startx" works fine, but not xdm! So, I do not know what to do.
