Look in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf (I presume you are using gdm, the default) and 
search for the [xdmcp] section delimiter. Below that alter the line which 
says "Enable=false" to read "Enable=true".

I think you'll need to restart X before this will take effect. If you have 
gdm configured to restart the X server on logout all you need do is logout 
and log back in again. Otherwise logout then switch to a terminal console 
(ctrl-alt-f1 etc) and, as root, run "init 3" to stop X, then "init 5" to 
restart it again.
