The daily XFCE hasn't boot properly in the last 3 weeks. I figured as we
switched over to systemd it would work out eventually, but posting anyway.

XFCE boots up to the XMD login box, which is a weird looking box, I don't
recall ever seeing this.

I check the /etc/conf.d/xdm and display manager is set to "xdm"  I believe
it should be set to "gdm" since that is what is installed.  I change to
"gdm" than issue

systemctl stop xdm
systemctl status xdm and it reports it dead
systemctl start xdm

and I am brought back to the xdm login box, as if systemd doesn't use the
/etc/conf.d/xdm file.  I have no idea if it does or doesn't as I a noob to
systemd.

So hoping to look at log files and apparently systemd don't make the log
files?  I can't find /var/log/messages or /var/log/dmesg

A side note, I have to edit the grub line and remove all that fancy
graphical commands to get display to work.  If I leave the default grub
line as is, my monitor goes to sleep and I can't do a thing to get it to
display.  ctrl alt f1 does nothing.  If I remove everything starting with
splash to --quiet in grub I get my display.  Intel graphics - I can maybe
get more info once the xdm issue is solved.

What is best way to get info on the xdm issue?
