/etc/init.d/xdm is the gentoo init script for X. It does NOT necessarily start xdm, it starts what you have specified in $DISPLAYMANAGER, which is set in /etc/rc.conf Therefore gdm starting is probably the correct result fo rrunning /etc/init.d/xdm start OK so once you have started gdm in the correct manner, does it work? -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
