Introduction
KDM (KDE Display Manager) is the login manager of KDE. It supports themes, auto-logging, session type choice, etc.
Installation
See Add a login manager for installation instructions.
Configuration
KDM can be configured from the KDE System Settings program but you need to run it as root:
- in KDEMod it will automatically ask you the root password
- in KDE you can use kdesu:
$ kdesu systemsettings
Themes creation
Themes files are in /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes
.
The theme format is the same one as GDM, a documentation can be found here: Detailed Description of Theme XML format.
Troubleshooting
Keyboard maps
KDM depends on Xorg for keyboard input so if you don't have the good keymap check your xorg.conf file.
See the Xorg article for instructions.
