Then you probably don't want to use GDM or any other DM as they are |

What you likely need is something to be run from the command line (i.e. |
| 13 |
*before* X is started). startx (or xinit) are perfect for this. No |
| 14 |
need to write any fancy program, it can pretty much do what you're |
| 15 |
asking: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
$ startx /path/to/program/that/needs/X.org -- /usr/bin/X |
| 18 |
$ startx -- /usr/bin/Xgl |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |

| 21 |
startx man page for details. |
