I have a bit of a mystery here. Now if you read the title you would assume that it uses kdm. Well... Check this out,

Notice that none of those are installed. I tried to install,
Code:
#yum install switch-displaymanager-gnome
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
No package switch-displaymanager-gnome available.
Error: Nothing to do
But as it says, it is not in the yum repos, not even the RPMFusion ones. I did install system-switch-displaymanager but it is useless unless I tell it what to switch to at the command line.
Does anyone know what display manager Fedora Jam/KDE spin is using? I am in KDE right now and there is a display manager working. I get a log in screen and everything. The same one with or without any of the above displaymanagers installed.
Edit: Actually it was named system-switch-displaymanager-gnome. I installed it but I am getting an error,
Code:
# system-switch-displaymanager
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-switch-displaymanager/system-switch-displaymanager-gui.py", line 160, in <module>
dlg = mainDialog().main()
File "/usr/share/system-switch-displaymanager/system-switch-displaymanager-gui.py", line 62, in __init__
self.defaultw = getDefaultDM()
File "/usr/share/system-switch-displaymanager/backend.py", line 119, in getDefaultDM
dm = DMLIST[0]
IndexError: list index out of range
It also hangs when I try to start it from Menu>Administration>Display Manager Switching Tool. It asks for the root password, I get a bouncing icon and than nothing. Which I am wondering if it is because it can't find a display manager either.
Other than that error above (and that I am not worried about) I am having no other issues. I just want to figure this display manager thing out. Is there another display manager I am forgetting about? I tried wdm but that is not even in the repos.
