Hello all,

To get display-manager-init built and installed, i had to accept_keywords :
xinit, sysvinit and xorg-server.
As  specified in the news :
- changing the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in /etc/conf.d/display-manager
(lightdm for me)
- rc-update del xdm default
- rc-update add display-manager
- reboot

Everything works fine.

Cheers,

Jacques
