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: ----<cut-here>--- Nano-howto to get KDE-3.0's kdm running on SuSE Linux 7.3 Latest KDE-3.0 from ftp.suse.com (today is 25-apr-2002) Latest XFree86-4.2.0 from ftp.suse.com The onliner command WINDOWMANAGER="kde3" startx should start a kde3 session.
