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 lightdm
DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm"
   /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf - to make users manually enter the user name
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-hide-users=true
greeter-show-manual-login=true

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
