KDM(1) KDE Display Manager KDM(1)
NAME
kdm - KDE Display Manager
SYNOPSIS
kdm [options] [tty]
DESCRIPTION
kdm is the KDE display manager also known as login manager. It shows a
graphical login screen for username and password. After authenticating
the user it starts a session.
kdm can be configured for remote login via XDMCP. XDMCP is the "X Dis-
play Manager Control Protocol" which is used to set up connections
between remote systems over the network.
kdm is a derivative of xdm. man 1 xdm may provide useful information
(requires installed xdm). For X-related problems try man 7x X and man 1
startx.
