In Gentoo, to start the desired display manager, just execute it directly. For example:I wanted to add that once the desired display manager has been added to rc.conf, that the display manager can also be run using:
gdm
Starts GDM. Similarly,
KDM
Starts KDM.
/etc/init.d/xdm start
It can be stopped by replacing "start" with, you guessed it, "stop".
(and it can be restarted with "restart")
Also, "KDM" above should be in lower case, i.e.:
kdm
rc-update is the prefered method for adding startup stuff to these runlevels. More services can be added in the same manner, for example, to add NFS and TFTP daemon support, you would enter:
rc-update add nfs default
rc-update add in.tftpd
That last line should be: rc-update add in.tftpd default
