I suggest that you use xdm
Among many things you will need to setup an Xconfig in /usr/lib/X11.
I installed X11 on my second disk drive so substiture /bd/X11R5 for /usr
in my configuration files.
Make sure that Xconfig points to your fonts! Just read Xconfig and you
will easily spot the specification path for the libraries. there are other
options so just read the Xconfig and make sure that it matches your system.
for xdm-config you will need to setup an xdm-config file. An example
of an xdm-config is enclosed...
to start xdm:
xdm -config /bd/X11R5/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config
Also xdm accepts a "-debug x", where x is any non-zero number, to enable
debugging output to stdout. All normal xdm errors will go to /bd/X11R5/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors. So if the server does not start read the output of this file...
In /bd/X11R5/lib/xdm/Xresources, for the X*login resource insert the
following text after the "<key> Return:", allow-all-access()
the above will let you get into your own system...
Cheers,
Amancio
