Can't get KDM to work.


Recently I decided to switch from gdm to kdm. I uninstalled gdm and figured I could install kdm. I can get it running by typing KDM at the command promt, but it won't start automatically at boot. I've read some documentation, but it's not helping.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop
Code:
DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE

Thanks, that worked. On my system the file was "/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager", but it had the same code to edit.
