Hmm, maybe cause it is NOT an X server, its a Window Manager. |

This certainly has NOTHING to do with your problem. You seem to want |
| 18 |
GDM as your login manager, wich is understandable. Maybe Gnome |
| 19 |
installation changed some config files and you carelessly ran |
| 20 |
etc-update. |

Are you getting GDM as your login manager when you run /etc/init.d/xdm |
| 27 |
start? If not, that's because your /etc/rc.conf has different |
| 28 |
settings. Check it, it should look like: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" |
| 31 |
XSESSION="gnome" |

Yeah, you need to read some man pages about what is the X server, what |
| 38 |
are Login Managers and Window Managers and how you configure them in |
| 39 |
Gentoo. I recommend: |
