This will be shown even if no xdm was installed?

> There has been a refactoring of the old 'xdm' init script and its

> gui-libs/display-manager-init
>
> This package provides the 'display-manager' startup script for
> handling your chosen display manager, without being dependent on
> Xorg server.

> To update to the new DM init scripts, you need to manually add the

>
> emerge -vuDU gui-libs/display-manager-init
>
> To start using the new init scripts, change the DISPLAYMANAGER
> variable in the /etc/conf.d/display-manager to your preferred DM:
>
> DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
>
> To test the newly installed scripts, you can try to switch to
> 'display-manager' on the running computer.
> Run the following commands in a tty to test your current install:
>
> rc-service xdm stop
> rc-service display-manager start
>
> If the test succeeds, you can remove the old xdm startup script
> and add display-manager to the default runlevel:
>
> rc-update del xdm default
> rc-update add display-manager default
>
> Reboot your computer to perform a final test and check to see
> that your chosen display manager has started.
