Subject: [gentoo-user] xdm doesn't try to start (Gentoo issue)

1 I have two hardware-identical laptops exhibiting different behavior
2 WRT xdm. xdm doesn't try to start automatically on one of the laptops
3 but does on the other. On the one that does not start xdm, I get this
4 on startup:
5
6 # rc-update -s | grep xdm
7 xdm | default
8 # /etc/init.d/xdm status
9 * status: stopped
10 # /etc/init.d/xdm start
11
12 and xdm/lightdm starts just fine. What could be the problem? It
13 works perfectly on the other laptop.
