Hi, |

I've attached the updated news item. |
3 |
It now depends on openrc and the wording has been improved to |
4 |
make it less ambiguous about it being optional. |

There has been a refactoring of the old 'xdm' init script and its |
17 |
requirements from various packages into an independent package: |
18 |
|
19 |
gui-libs/display-manager-init |
20 |
|
21 |
This package provides the 'display-manager' startup script for |
22 |
handling your chosen display manager, without being dependent on |
23 |
Xorg server. |
24 |
|
25 |
To update to the new DM init scripts, you need to manually add the |
26 |
package in your @world set: |
27 |
|
28 |
emerge -vuDU gui-libs/display-manager-init |
29 |
|
30 |
To start using the new init scripts, change the DISPLAYMANAGER |
31 |
variable in the /etc/conf.d/display-manager to your preferred DM: |
32 |
|
33 |
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" |
34 |
|
35 |
and remove 'xdm' from the default runlevel and add 'display-manager': |
36 |
|
37 |
rc-update del xdm default |
38 |
rc-update add display-manager default |
39 |
|
40 |
The changes are complete and on the next reboot, 'display-manager' |
41 |
will start your chosen DM. |
42 |
|
43 |
To switch to the new scripts without rebooting, run the following |
44 |
commands in a tty: |
45 |
|
46 |
rc-service xdm stop |
47 |
rc-service display-manager start |
