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 Display 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.
