rc-update add xdm default as root also open /etc/rc.conf and set DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" for the runlevels: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4 as you can see here: l0:0:wait:/sbin/rc shutdown l1:S1:wait:/sbin/rc single l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc nonetwork l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc default l6:6:wait:/sbin/rc reboot 3, 4 and 5 are the same runlevel (default) you call runlevels by their name in gentoo (single, nonetwork, boot, default). If you want to run something in a certain runlevel you add it with rc-update. thus rc-update add xdm default will add the xdm init script to the default runlevel - which login manager is started is determined by rc.conf . while rc-update add hotplug boot would add hotplug to the boot runlevel removing is done with 'del' instead of add. This is all explained in detail in the documentation, please read it. Glück Auf Volker -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
