Hi,

I noticed a few things about xdm(1) build using src/x11 framwork :

1) The xdm Xresources file is currently missing some substitutions for
   the 'XHASH' keyword. In that case, the xdm login banner can't use
   this resource file and looks diffrent (no pixmap, default fonts,
   ...).

   A work around for this problem can be done by modifying the
   X11TOOL_UNXCOMM command to replace 'XHASH' keys with `#' too :

# Commandline to convert 'XCOMM' comments and 'XHASH' to #
#
X11TOOL_UNXCOMM=        sed -e '/^\#  *[0-9][0-9]*  *.*$$/d' \
                            -e '/^XCOMM$$/s//\#/' \
                            -e '/^XCOMM[^a-zA-Z0-9_]/s/^XCOMM/\#/' \
                            -e '/^XHASH(if|else|end)/s/^XHASH/\#/'

2) xdm build with src/x11 does not use `prngc.c' source file as native
   build do. Is it expected, or was it forgotten ?
