I have posted the solution to this before ( SuSE 7.3 )
mkdir /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm ln -s /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ln -s /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xaccess
edit the files in /etc/SuSEconfig and change:
qt2 -> qt3 kde2 -> kde3
edit /etc/init.d/xdm, change:
kde2 -> kde3
Add kde3 to /usr/X11R6/bin/wmlist
Add kde3 to the sessionlist in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
Add kde3 to /etc/ld.so.conf
run ldconfig
run rcxdm start
Hi, Thanks, Tor, for this guide. I have done it all. I'm booting into kdm3 now. However kdm (3) is still not accepting all configurations: I can configure: - Greeting message, text and font - Display logo, yes or no - Display users I can configure, and it is stored in kdmrc, but ignored: - the background image (it displays just a grey screen with Suse Linux written on top, quite ugly). - display clock instead of logo (leaves the small box for the logo/clock just empty). It definitely does start kdm3, I even made kdm2 unexecutable / unreadable. I guess the grey screen is not coming from xdm, it is the same grey, but the "SuSE Linux" on it is not the same, as when I start xdm (as root) directly. I'm running Suse 7.2, Mantel kernel 2.4.17, X4.2, and the kde3 from kde.org. Anyone knows what to do? The grey background is just terribly ugly, not a good start for the day. Otherwise I really like kde3. It is fast, stable and looks great. Thanks, Matt T.
