The slim is no longer maintain, so I tried "lightdm" but when I try to login, it keeps looping, I'm back into login screen.
I can post a log-file but it is long.
Any suggestion.

I forgot to mention the error:
cat .xsession-errors
/etc/X11/Sessions/Xsession: line 106: exec: xsm: not found

emerging xsm start something but not my xfce4.
Gentoo wiki does not mention anything how to start xfce4 with lightdm

Have a look at the wiki page, the Troubleshooting section. It mentions a
networkmanager conflict if hostname is set.

I don't know what this "something" is your lightdm starts, because I am not
seated in front of your monitor. I haven't used lightdm for a while now, but
there is a line where you set your preferred 'user-session' in /etc/lightdm/
lightdm.conf. Have you done this?
