On line 21 of /etc/X11/startDM.sh, the SVCNAME variable is set to 'xdm'. This doesn't work for openrc, which expects the name of the service to be in RC_SVCNAME. Ordinarily this doesn't cause any problems as startDM.sh is started from /etc/init.d/xdm so the RC_SVCNAME is already defined by openrc. However, if startDM.sh is started by init as a result of `telinit a`, the correct environment variable is not defined and startDM.sh doesn't work.
sigh... xinit again. Every time I start to believe I finally got it figured out, someone proves me wrong... Thanks for the report :)

Yes, s/SVCNAME/RC_SVCNAME/ is the correct fix. SVCNAME is a leftover from baselayout-1.x, which I would like to get rid of, but there isn't a clean way to do that.
