Hello, do we have a way to start an X window manager (EXWM in my case) without installing a display manager? The manual does not cover this subject and so far all my attempts with the suggestions I collected from the mailing list [1] [2] have failed. I tried xinit, startx or sx but nothing starts exwm properly without GDM. I was only able to start exwm with xinit but it takes longer compared to GDM and when the WM is initialized, it does not receive any input, it is impossible to move the mouse pointer or type anything.
