(In reply to Marcus Meissner from comment #20) Hmmm ... after systemctl enable display-manager.service there should be a link xdm.service below /etc/systemd/system which points to display-manager.service below /usr/lib/systemd/system The only questions: Does xdm package use %pre %service_add_pre display-manager.service %post %service_add_post display-manager.service %preun %service_del_preun display-manager.service %postun %service_del_postun display-manager.service and is display-manager.service enabled below /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/
