- KDM in Debian
- =============
-
- This package comes with a copy of the KDM handbook in docbook format.
- To read it, run "khelpcenter help:/kdm" from a command-line or go to the
- URL "help:/kdm" in konqueror.
-
- By default, the use of special graphical themes with KDM is disabled.
- If you wish to use the 'Circles' theme that comes with the kdm package, or
- any other theme that you have installed, you should research the
- 'UseTheme' and 'Theme' fields in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc. This can be done
- by browsing this URL in Konqueror:
-
- help:/kdm/kdm-files.html#kdmrc-greeter
-
- KDM Customization
- =================
-
- We provide a way to override theme-related values normally set in the
- master configuration file (kdmrc):
- * USEBACKGROUND
- * BACKGROUNDCFG
- * USETHEME
- * THEME
- * AUTOLOGINAGAIN
- * AUTOLOGINDELAY
- * AUTOLOGINLOCKED
- * AUTOLOGINUSER
-
- and background configuration file (backgroundrc):
- * WALLPAPER
-
- You just need to create a file with overridden value(s) and put it in
- kdm override directory (default is /etc/default/kdm.d).
-
- ================================================
- Below this is direct from the xdm package README
- ================================================
-
- Debian README for the xdm package:
-
- Newcomers to the X Window System should first read the file
- /usr/share/doc/x11-common/FAQ.gz. You can view this file with your
- favorite pager program after decompressing it. For example:
- $ zcat /usr/share/doc/x11-common/FAQ.gz | pager
-
- The default configuration for the X display manager (xdm) under Debian
- GNU/Linux presumes that one wishes xdm to manage one local session. (In
- other words, the xdm login screen occupies one virtual console
- automatically at boot.) If one does not wish to run a local X server, the
- following line should be commented out of /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers:
-
- :0 local /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -deferglyphs 16
-
- Several configuration files are shipped with the xdm package; they reside
- in the /etc/X11/xdm/ directory. Extensive documentation about the xdm
- configuration files may be found in the xdm(1) manual page.
-
- xdm-config contains X resources specific to xdm itself. See the X(1)
- manual page for more information about X resources, and the xdm(1) manual
- pages for documentation of the available xdm resources.
-
- Xresources contains X resources that are designed to be specfic to sessions
- running under xdm. Note that this file does contain the resource entries
- for xdm itself -- those are contained in the file xdm-config. See the X(1)
- manual page for more information about X resources.
-
- The above three files, despite being X resource files, are not placed in the
- /etc/X11/Xresources directory (see /usr/share/doc/xbase/README.Debian) because
- they should not be used automatically in all X sessions; the /etc/X11/Xsession
- script merges in the resources of all files found in /etc/X11/Xresources, and
- this action would be inappropriate for these resource files.
-
- Xservers contains entries to start the X server(s) on the local machine, and
- on any remote X terminals that do not support XDMCP. This file is internally
- documented.
-
- Xaccess determines what hosts on the network may use the services of the
- running xdm daemon. This file is internally documented. Note that as of
- version 3.3.4-1 of the xdm package, all remote XDMCP access is turned off
- by default.
-
- Xstartup is a shell script which is run (as root) after a user has logged in
- on a server.
-
- Xreset is a shell script which is run (as root) after a user's X session ends on
- a server.
-
- xdm.options contains configuration options for xdm that are specific to the
- Debian GNU/Linux system. See the xdm.options(5) manual page for more
- information.
