Is there some file that I need to edit, in order to use gdm as the display manager?
Nigel.
You need to edit /etc/inittab
Not saying you're wrong, but personally I've never edited the inittab file, and I'm still able to start whatever DM I want.
Just adding the appropriate DM (e.g., gdm, kdm, slim, etc.) to the end of the DAEMONS line in rc.conf has always done the trick for me.
You're correct - I personally don't edit inittab either. I use rc.conf for slim as well. But, his question was regarding "which file to edit", so I figured I'd answer directly.
