you have to add the DYSPLAYMANAGER=kdm-4.0 to a file in /etc/env.d/ better |
34 |
the local environment file, then BE SURE to have installed the following: |
35 |
kdebase-startkde-4.0.x and kdebase-meta-4.0.x. after that remember to do an |
36 |
etc-update (or dispatch-conf or whatever utility you use for updating the |
37 |
/etc) and then do an env-update and a /etc/init.d/xdm restart. also you |
38 |
should look if xdm has been overwritten (it has to be since) and if i |
39 |
remember well also /etc/conf.d/xdm.conf also has changed. then at kdm login |
40 |
screen select the session type and login. it should work. but e aware that |
41 |
if you're on xorg-server from git kde4 will most likely don't work. |
