\- KDE Display Manager
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtdm\fP [options] [tty]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBtdm\fP is the KDE display manager also known as login manager. It shows a graphical login screen for username and password. After authenticating the user it starts a session.

\fBtdm\fP can be configured for remote login via XDMCP. XDMCP is the "X Display Manager Control Protocol" which is used to set up connections between remote systems over the network.
.sp 1
\fBtdm\fP is a derivative of \fBxdm\fP. \fBman 1 xdm\fP may provide useful information (requires installed \fBxdm\fP). For X-related problems try \fBman 7x X\fP and \fBman 1 startx\fP.
