What is kdm?
Are you making a mistake?
Well... I might be, but kdm is
kdebase3-kdm-3.5.10.1-380.14.x86_64 from the KDE3 repository
It is sddm for KDE3 basically.
my TW install does not have /etc/X11/xinit/xinit.d My 15.4 install does ... ├── xinit │ ├── xinitrc │ ├── xinitrc.common │ ├── xinitrc.d │ │ ├── 50-systemd-user.sh │ │ └── libcanberra-gtk-module.sh │ └── xserverrc ├── xorg.conf.d ... /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/, like /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/, is an optional directory, which new TW installations don't find necessary to create by default. Those who need them for overriding defaults can create them. Not creating optional
Hardly. Sddm is upstream's pathetic replacement for KDM, missing a wealth of optional functionality, and some basic functionality. Of all places, Fedora never dropped KDM from its standard repos, even though its X11 is stuck a whole bunch of releases behind upstream & TW. directories has been a basic characteristic of /etc/ since /usr/etc/ was created.
This is where the issue is coming from. The only xinit.d in TW is /usr/etc/X11/xinit/xinit.d/
