New page

We'll use slim as our login manager. Slim is an abbreviation for simple login manager.

'''$''' sudo emerge -av slim

Next we'll want to configure the system to start X after the boot sequence has completed.

'''$''' sudo rc-update add xdm default

Then, edit the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in /etc/conf.d/xdm so that the simple login manager (slim) is utilized.

'''$''' sudo nano -w /etc/conf.d/xdm
=== /etc/conf.d/xdm ===
...
DISPLAYMANAGER="slim"
...
We also want slim to start the xfce session after we log in.
'''$''' sudo nano -w /etc/env.d/90xsession
=== /etc/env.d/90xsession ===
XSESSION="Xfce4"

Finally, update the environment variables.

'''$''' sudo env-update && source /etc/profile

Upon reboot, you should now be greeted by a logon prompt. After logging in or typing startx, you should see the xfce interface, and a working desktop environment. Next we'll want to add some eye candy to our desktop, so let's work on [[Compositing]].
