Details

Currenly, have of Arch's Display managers use /etc/rc.d and the other half use init 5. Too keep things consistant and simple all DMs should be executed via /etc/rc.d. I have made an /etc/rc.d/xdm script, and if you would like I'll create a wdm script.

This will make DE's in Arch simple and consistent.
(application/octet-stream)    xdm (0.6 KiB)

It seems when xdm is started through the script, it's giving the same problems as gdm. If you are using uDev, they keyboard will lock up... But everything works fine thorugh init 5...

Hmmm, well maybe I'll leave it as an init 5 thing for now then.
