Subject: Bootstrapping X11 on an X10 (Ultrix V2.2/UWS V1.1) system

Being a novitiate in installing X, I am having a problem bootstrapping the
the system on my Ultrix X10.6 UWS (shipped from DEC) VS2000 (19in Mono).

I got it to make with minimal difficulty, (the Ultrix cc compiler did not
like the original complexity of /clients/xdm/Login.c, lines 203 and 239(?),
and i fixed that by creating a temporary int variable evaluated as FAIL_Y).

I installed it and verified the locations of the binaries and the load modules
(/usr/bin/X11) the man pages (/usr/man/mann... is this right?). I then built
a symbolic link 

ln -s /usr/bin/X11/qvss /usr/bin/X

all binaries have execute privelege (I hope my VMS is not starting to shine
through... I only use Ultrix in the privacy of my own home).

Finally, I execute xdm from a terminal from root.  I spin up the process and
I get the following output:

# echo $PATH
/usr/bin/X11:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/etc:/usr/local:/usr/new:/usr/hosts:.
# xdm -debug 10 -nodeamon

Nothing left to do, exiting

I cannot seem to clear the system of the X10/UWS code.  Nor I am nimble
enough to startup X11 as a 'second' windowing system.

Do I need to be in single user mode? Do I need to do something with init(8),
since it always brings up an X(10)term on the console?

(If all I need is a swift kick in the right direction, please kick away!)
