I've done a clean install of 11.1. I selected kde 3.5 instead of kde 4.x. At the logon I have gdm not kdm. I login and I have a gnome Desktop, not a kde desktop? I changed the display manager in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager from gdm to kdm the ran SuSEconfig. Then I rebooted. I got kdm but still have a gnome desktop.
What is the trick to doing a clean install and having kde 3.5 as my desktop with NO gnome?
Thanks Mark
Answer: UNKNOWN
I installed 11.1 carefully selecting kde 3.5 and logged on for the first time and I was starring at the kde4 desktop. Others have reported similar to your experience.
After my experience, I can't remember if I just selected kde3 from the kdm menu or changed the startx script from /usr/bin/startkde to /opt/kde3/bin/startkde
I think you can simple use yast to remove gdm and install kdm if it isn't installed already. Then, someone else will have to chime in on where the setting is in /etc/sysconfig or /etc/X11

Strange bug huh? Anyways, will people stop getting fired up over which KDE Version is better? Both have their pos and cons; this thread is to help Mark, not to argue over which version... If you want, I can start a thread like that and you can see the results - 30+ emails per day...
