I tried installing xdm on SG200X Debian to see if I could create an XDMCP server on my Milk-V Duo S SD and then access the graphical desktop via my main machine using something like Xephyr. However, every time I try to run the command systemctl start xdm.service and authenticate, it spits this error:
Job for xdm.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status xdm.service" and "journalctl -xeu xdm.service" for details.

systemctl status xdm.service gives:
xdm.service - X-Window Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/xdm.service; indirect; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2024-06-19 03:51:19 UTC; 4min 28s ago Invocation: 39a7170d85d24c739e87abc53cffdca1 Process: 1021 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c [ "$(cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/bin/xdm" ] (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jun 19 03:51:19 duos systemd[1]: Starting xdm.service - X-Window Display Manager...

Jun 19 03:51:19 duos systemd[1]: Failed to start xdm.service - X-Window Display Manager.

journalctl -xeu xdm.service gives:

Not sure what the cause is, let alone the fix.
