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}}


=== sync ===
==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>
 
=== unmask ===
 
Now, reverse the GNOME 3.14 mask file:
 
==== package.mask (directory) ====
 
<console>
###i## cd /etc/portage/package.unmask
###i## ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask/funtoo-gnome .
</console>
 
==== package.mask (file) ====
 
<console>
###i## cat /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask/funtoo-gnome >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
</console>
 
=== USE flags ===
 
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
