Lightdm is a light display manager. It's an excellent alternative to gdm, & kdm. Lightdm is used in conjunction with x11-apps/xdm.
install
root # emerge lightdm
configuration
Lightdm is configured with /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, and /etc/conf.d/xdm. By default, lightdm ships with lightdm-gtk-greeter which is controlled by /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf

Greeters
LightDM will be pretty useless for graphical logins with out the addition of a greeter for it.
