How do you configure opendarwin to give graphical login with X11 after boot?

Hi,  

 

I installed opendarwin-7.2.1 and XFree86-4.4 on my ibook clamshell.
Everything works well.  I'm using twm at the moment (exploring all the
configuration possibilities).  I have fink and darwinports installed via
cvs.  I was having problems with the date but found out about the command
"date" and set the clock so that things install easily.  I still cannot get
xterm or rxvt to give ansi color but I haven't set up an .Xdefault or
.Xresources file yet. I'll try that soon.  Right now when I turn the ibook
on, I get the regular console and start x with "startx".  I have had
problems with it starting up til I changed some files around (ssh_config and
sshd_config).  Now I would like to get a graphical login to X after I turn
on the ibook, instead of the console login.  Does that mean I need to use
XDM or do I just have to put something in /Library/StartupItems.  I read a
website that talks about using XDM and Xvnc which discusses putting
XDMStartup.tar.gz in /Library/StartupItems
(http://homepage.mac.com/steventamm/software/xdmvnc.html).  I was wondering
if any one had any advice?

 

Thanks
