+Title: New OpenRC Display Manager Initializer Scripts |
| 22 |

| 28 |
+There has been a refactoring of the old 'xdm' init script and its |
| 29 |
+requirements from various packages into an independent package: |
| 30 |
+ |
| 31 |
+ gui-libs/display-manager-init |
| 32 |
+ |
| 33 |
+This package provides the 'display-manager' startup script for |
| 34 |
+handling your chosen display manager, without depending on |
| 35 |
+Xorg server. The old 'xdm' init script is no longer supported |
| 36 |
+and is going to be removed in the next version of xorg-server, |
| 37 |
+so it is imperative that you shift to display-manager-init. |
| 38 |
+ |
| 39 |
+To update to the new DM init scripts, you need to manually add the |
| 40 |
+package in your @world set: |
| 41 |
+ |
| 42 |
+ emerge -vuDU gui-libs/display-manager-init |
| 43 |
+ |
| 44 |
+To start using the new init scripts, either copy your |
| 45 |
+existing /etc/conf.d/xdm to /etc/conf.d/displaymanager or |
| 46 |
+change the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in |
| 47 |
+/etc/conf.d/display-manager to your preferred DM: |
| 48 |
+ |
| 49 |
+ DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" |
| 50 |
+ |
| 51 |
+and remove 'xdm' from the default runlevel and add 'display-manager': |
| 52 |
+ |
| 53 |
+ rc-update del xdm default |
| 54 |
+ rc-update add display-manager default |
| 55 |
+ |
| 56 |
+The changes are complete and on the next reboot, 'display-manager' |
| 57 |
+will start your chosen DM. |
| 58 |
+ |
| 59 |
+To switch to the new scripts without rebooting, run the following |
| 60 |
+commands in a tty: |
| 61 |
+ |
| 62 |
+ rc-service xdm stop |
| 63 |
+ rc-service display-manager start |
