No, no offense. :-) My reply was based on my experience a long time ago trying to do the same thing, running xdm out of rc.local or something similar. I later realized that the simplest way to do it was out of /etc/ttys. When I attempted to run xdm from a script, I would sometimes get the locked-up keyboard behavior he described in his post, which was why I suggested he try setting it up to start the other way. Hope that clears up any misunderstandings.
