GDM is a system service that is responsible for providing graphical logins and managing local and remote display. Critical note on Slackware: Slackware has it's '/etc/rc.d/rc.4' script starting gdm with an invalid command line option, which will cause gdm to fail starting in runlevel 4. To use gdm, you will need to edit '/etc/rc.d/rc.4' to remove the '-nodaemon' option from being passed to gdm. After editing, the gdm lines should look like this: if [ -x /usr/bin/gdm ]; then exec /usr/bin/gdm fi # Someone thought that gdm looked prettier in /usr/sbin, # so look there, too: if [ -x /usr/sbin/gdm ]; then exec /usr/sbin/gdm fi A note on PAM: The GDM source includes PAM configs for linux distros like redhat, lfs, and arch. However, none of these pre-designed configs are suitable for Slackware's PAM configuration. Therefore I used 'sddm' as a reference and wrote configs for 'gdm' that work properly. I didn't include 'gdm-fingerprint' or 'gdm-smartcard', since I don't have the hardware needed to properly test functionality. Additional Notes: - Slackware comes with the 'gdm' group and user already configured, so nothing needs to be done there. - GDM can be built without 'gnome-session' and 'gnome-shell' installed, but 'gdm' will be unusable at runtime without them.
