How does one start GDM (or KDM--whatever) automatically with Gentoo? I am working on tweaking an X-terminal server and we can't require that someone log in and manually run the thing each and every time.

All that's left is to make sure that X comes up when Gentoo boots. Edit /etc/rc.conf so that DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm".
| Code: |
# nano -w /etc/rc.conf |
In /etc/rc.conf: | Code: | # What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm ]
DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm |
Now we just need to make sure that the xdm start-up script is read when booting. | Code: |
# rc-update add xdm default |
Reboot, and see if X comes up!
This was a direct cut and paste of the Gentoo Linux Desktop Configuration Guide, which is linked from the Gentoo Homepage.
Yours,
Larde.

Err, thanks, I must have missed that part. Small wonder I couldn't find it in the forums.
