An X display manager. I am going light, I have chosen fluxbox for the wm. However I still need (would greatly prefer) a display manager to go with it. What's the best choice.

Oh, and I finally got gentoo to install Xorg with nvidia drivers. It was a pain in the neck, and since I don't feel like a 12 hour wait to compile a desktop environment, I chose fluxbox. Some help appriciated! :popcorn:

1) Log in and type startx (add exec startfluxbox to ~/.xinitrc)
2) Set X to start when you log in (check this (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot) out)
3) SLiM

I've actually tried SLiM, it's not bad, so I'll try it, when I tried it before it seemed a bit lacking, but maybe I was missing something. Anyway, Thanks ricemonster.
