XDM ([[Wikipedia:XDM_(display_manager)|Wikipedia page]],) also known as the X Display Manager, is an application that typically starts at system startup, and presents a graphical login screen. Once a user successfully logs in, their X session begins. On Gentoo systems, XDM installs the {{f|/etc/init.d/xdm}} init script, which via the {{f|/etc/conf.d/xdm}} configuration file is used to start other display managers, such as GNOME's {{c|gdm}}. ==install== {{note|make sure your x11 is working properly before attempting to use xdm}} {{console|body=###i## emerge xdm}} ==configure== xdm is controlled by {{f|/etc/conf.d/xdm}}. xdm is often paired with other, more modern display managers. see: *{{package|x11-misc/lightdm}} *{{package|gnome-base/gdm}} *{{package|x11-misc/slim}} *{{package|x11-misc/sddm}} ==init== {{console|body=###i## rc-update add xdm ###i## rc}}
