| XDM ([[Wikipedia:XDM_(display_manager)|Wikipedia page]],) also known as the X Display Manager, is an application that typically starts at system startup, and presents a graphical login screen. Once a user successfully logs in, their X session begins.
| |
| | |
| On Gentoo systems, XDM installs the {{f|/etc/init.d/xdm}} init script, which via the {{f|/etc/conf.d/xdm}} configuration file is used to start other display managers, such as GNOME's {{c|gdm}}.

| {{note|make sure your x11 is working properly before attempting to use xdm}}
| |
| {{console|body=###i## emerge xdm}} | |
| | |
| ==configure== | |
| xdm is controlled by {{f|/etc/conf.d/xdm}}.
| |
| | |
| xdm is often paired with other, more modern display managers.
