From the desktop configuration guide http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml...

To add a program to an init level you will need to run rc-update. Do this for xdm:

Code:

rc-update add xdm default

And then modify your /etc/rc.conf file, changing the display manager to the one you want to use on startup. I have mine set to start kde:

Code:

DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm

Read the desktop configuration guide.
