How could I make GDM start at boot? I looked through Google, and the only result that I got was

Code:

rc-update add gdm default

and that didn't work.

First, edit /etc/rc.conf and replace

Code:

DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm"

with

Code:

DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"

Then run

Code:

rc-update add xdm default

Thanks! I had already updated rc.conf, but didn't know what to do otherwise.
