GNOME 3.14 is now available in Funtoo, masked for testing. Please help us test it. If you find bugs, or want more detailed information on what is included, please see  [https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-1637 FL-1637].
==configure==
xdm is controlled by <code>/etc/conf.d/xdm</code>.


== Preparing ==
xdm is often paired with other, more modern display managers.
see:
*{{package|lightdm}}
*{{package|gdm}}
*{{package|kdm}}
*{{package|slim}}


{{fancywarning|These instructions assume that your /etc/portage/package.{unmask,use} locations are directories.}}
==init==
to start xdm immediately:
<console>###i## rc-service xdm start</console>


First, sync the tree if you haven't recently as you need access to a file in the tree:
to start xdm upon boot:
 
<console>###i## rc-update add xdm</console>
<console>
{{EbuildFooter}}
###i## emerge --sync
</console>
 
Now, create a symlink to the GNOME 3.14 mask file, reversijng it in the process:
 
for package.mask directory mode:
<console>
###i## cd /etc/portage/package.unmask
###i## ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask/funtoo-gnome .
</console>
 
for package.mask file mode:
 
<console>
###i## cat /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask/funtoo-gnome >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
</console>
Then to simplify matters, enable the gnome mix-in:
 
<console>
###i## eselect profile list
##g##Currently available mix-ins profiles: 
  [11]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/audio 
  [12]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/console-extras 
  [13]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd 
  [14]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome 
  [15]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/kde 
  [16]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/mate 
  [17]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media

  [20]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/rhel5-compat
  [21]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-db

  [24]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/X
  [25]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/xfce
  [26]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/vmware-guest
  [27]  funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/hardened
</console>
 
<console>
###i## eselect profile add funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome
</console>
 
Finally, add the relevant section to your /etc/portage/package.use/funtoo-gnome file:
 
===== gnome-light (without mix-in) =====
 
<pre>
gnome-extra/evolution-data-server gtk
x11-libs/libxcb xkb
media-libs/cogl gles2
</pre>
 
===== gnome (with mix-in) =====
 
<pre>
