'sddm' is probably the easiest to test and more user friendly, although xdm is simpler overall. Based on what other users have said here it sounds like either should fix your TeamViewer problem. If not we can try to go from there.

You made me curious. I now ship lightdm, which is not bad (using the lightdm-gtk-greeter or the lightdm-slick-greeter) but I liked very much gdm 2.20.11 shipped in Slint-14.2.1, so just for fun I just typed in runlevel 3:
I was greeted by a nice GUI allowing to change both its language and theme, selected MATE as session, logged in and voilą! I am back in MATE 28.0.
This version was the last one needing so few
dependencies and although built on a system based on Slackware 14.2 still works out of the box in a system based on Slackware 15.0. Plus, it came with a complete documentation (see /usr/doc/gdm-2.20.11/gnome-display-mgr.html after installation). The only reason I do not ship it anymore is as it's no more maintained (the
source tarball dates back 3 June 2010) there could exist unknown security holes. George Vlahavas who initially wrote for Salix the SLKBUILD I used and adapted do not ship it anymore either for the same reason.
