Description Mike Fabian 2008-04-08 12:47:40 UTC
I installed Alpha3 using qemu in Czech language:

qemu-kvm -std-vga  -no-quit -m 512 \
        -cdrom /mounts/dist/install/openSUSE-11.0-Alpha3/openSUSE-11.0-Alpha3-KDE-i386.iso \
	-boot d \
	-hda $NAME.img \
	-monitor stdio \
	-net nic,model=rtl8139 \
        -net user,hostname=$NAME \
	-vnc :2 \
	$@

I use all defaults everywhere.

After the installation was finished, the login screen was xdm, not
kdm.

kdm from KDE4 is installed (/usr/bin/kdm) but not used.

/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager contains

    DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"

gdm is *not* installed.

Before opening this bug, I tried to check whether somebody
already reported something similar. But I found only bug #355990
and that is something different, isn’t it?
