How is it unstable? The answer in the FAQ is pretty much the only way to
actually set it up so that you get the X login screen (well, I guess you
could manually call xdm in rc.local or something, but that'd be a little
pointless). Have you looked at the XDM setup howto on puma? I believe it
should still be there. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll see if
I can dig it up.
Later.
