As far as I know, most major distributions > that don't use systemd ship rc-scripts for the display managers. Regarding Gentoo this is not quite correct. At least Gentoo is also using an rc script to start X at boot time but this rc script is started in its own runlevel if I recall correctly. So Gentoo uses a mixture of the inittab/runlevel and the rc script method. But I guess this mixture wouldn't work and is not necessary in Arch Linux. Heiko
