Enhanced xdm   by Miles O'Neal <meo@rru.com>

Xdm Sample Configuration

INTRODUCTION
------------
This directory contains a collection of files which describe a sample
configuration of xdm.  Choose between the sample Xservers.* files; copy
the appropriate one to "$(XDMDIR)/Xservers" along with the other files
in this directory.

Only a few of the many configuration parameters which xdm can be tuned
with are set in this sample; read the xdm manual page for a complete
description.

The Xresources file should produce a much nicer looking interface than
most default configurations.  Check its comments for places to spiff
things up or have fun.

The configuration is more complete than the standard X consortium
configuration.  In particular, many of the files include far more
documentation.
