Title: Howto: Restoring KDM login screen,
Desciption: Restoring KDM login screen, Lost login screen after 9.3 Pro install.

After installing SuSE 9.3 Pro, you might find that your login manager changes from the nice green KDM login to a grey login (xdm) with a status box bottom left. You log in and you find you are in a very basic window manager. This is due (I believe) to a Yast bug and happened to me after installing the nVidia driver.

Solution: (adapted from Suse portal support database):

Proceed as follows to change the login manager:

1. Start YaST2 (enter command: yast2
in the console box.
2. Go to "System" -> "/etc/sysconfig Editor".
3. Open "Desktop" -> "Display manager" -> "DISPLAYMANAGER" and change the entry to the
desired login manager (type: kdm).
4. Click "Finish".

Same can be done by commandline (su to root):
pico /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager

Find DISPLAYMANAGER and change "xdm" to "kdm".
