When I run "/etc/init.d/xdm start" I receive the message saying that it can't find /usr/bin/xdm. My $DISPLAYMANAGER is kdm-4.2. I traced the problem down to setup+dm function in /etc/init.d/xdm. There, it says: kdm-*) EXE="/usr/kde/${MY_XDM#kdm-}/bin/kdm" PIDFILE= ;; Replacing the EXE line with EXE="/usr/bin/kdm" solves the issue.
The exact message is: * Setting up xdm... * start-stop-daemon: /usr/bin/xdm does not exist * ERROR: could not start the Display Manager [ ok ]
Looks like the init script is expecting DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm for -kdeprefix. Does it work that way?
