Is anyone actually using KDE3's KDM on SuSE? If so, how did you get it to work?
Have a look at the Unofficial SuSE FAQ:
Actually, it's not that simple. In my case I had KDM3 running under KDE3/X4.2.0, I had followed the Unofficial SuSE FAQ and everything worked perfectly. I then installed a newer build of X4.2.0 from ftp.suse.com (silly me), and KDM3 hasn't worked since. If I downgrade to X4.1.0, KDM3 works fine, but under X4.2.0 it's seems to be impossible. And yes, I have attempted every possible combination uninstall/reinstall of both KDE3 and X4.2.0.
Hmm... strange... Ok, dived into my system, and made a nano-howto of the changes I made:

Well, I really hope you get kde-3's kdm running this time! :-)
(If you need a list of what kde-{2,3} packages I have installed, then mail me)
KDM3 is back and running! I looked over your diffs without finding any really obvious differences between what you did and what I did. Still, I did make a few insignificant changes (/etc/init.d/xdm and /usr/X11R6/bin/wmlist), did init 3, init 5 and KDM3 reappeared from its week long absence. I undid the changes in order to track down the problem, but KDM3 still worked! So, in the end, I am left with a functioning KDM3, but clueless as to how it came about. :-) S
