I think I just need to make sure dbus starts before xdm. Can anyone suggest an /etc/init.d/xdm change for this and should I file a bug? - Grant
Re: [gentoo-user] Anybody using lightdm?
Has anyone set up lightdm? I'm using it with the default config file but I get a black screen with no error in Xorg.0.log. gdm works fine.

I removed dbus from all runlevels and rebooted it's still working. I don't get it. I rebooted many times this morning and it never worked once. - Grant

I'm not using lightdm, but my understanding is that it's as minimalist as you can get while still technically using a display manager. Check into its configuration in /etc/config, etc. Find out exactly what it's using (launching) for an xinitrc. Also check out ~/.X*, and see if there are any user-local errors or logs of use. -- :wq
