Very nice Johnathan! All the docs I saw said to put the config in /etc. I just linked it into /etc/X11/ and ran xdm -nodaemon. Problem solved. I _am_ still seeing a little bit of the 'crawling pixel' syndrome, but it is _MUCH_ better overall! I will take a look at some other docs and try a couple things, but I can at least get back to work now. Thanks a bunch!
