Hello!
1) As of the FAQ (on my 2.1.5):
--
7.19. How do I start XDM from the /etc/ttys file ?
Starting xdm via /etc/ttys is a Bad Thing. I don't know why this crept
into some README file.
Start it from your rc.local, and be explicit about how it has to
start. If this is your last action in rc.local, put a ``sleep 1''
behind, to allow xdm to properly daemonize before the rc shell exits.
xdm should be started without any arguments (i.e., as a daemon).
The Xserver config file (default: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers)
should contain the line:
______________________________________________________________________
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt08 -wm
______________________________________________________________________

2) I think, the correct answer is man xdm ;-)
