I am not sure I follow.  I should make it clean that I wish it to run XDM, it 
is a RS6k and I want to use it as a terminal server here, the problem is the 
video card in it is not supported by the latest X.  So what I want to do is 
get xdm to run, but not on the console, because when it does it locks out the 
console.

Is that clearer?

Thanks
