Lightdm is a light display manager. It's an excellent alternative to gdm, & kdm. Lightdm is used in conjunction with x11-apps/xdm.
install
root # emerge lightdm
configuration
Lightdm is configured with /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, and /etc/conf.d/xdm. By default, lightdm ships with lightdm-gtk-greeter which is controlled by /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
/etc/conf.d/xdm - xdm configuration to use lightdmDISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm"
Greeters
LightDM will be pretty useless for graphical logins with out the addition of a greeter for it.
For GTK fans:
root # emerge x11-misc/lightdm-gtk-greeter
for KDE fans:
root # emerge x11-misc/lightdm-kde
