NAME

GDM − The GNOME Display Manager

SYNOPSIS

gdm [options]
gdmsetup [options]

DESCRIPTION

GDM is a replacement for XDM, the X Display Manager. Unlike its competitors (X3DM, KDM, WDM) GDM was written from scratch and does not contain any original XDM / X Consortium code. GDM runs and manages the X servers for both local and remote logins (using XDMCP). See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/ for more details.

gdm is main executable. gdmsetup is a graphical tool for easily changing the most commonly used options.

For full documentation see the GNOME help browser under the Applications / System Tools section.

OPTIONS

gdm and thus also gdm accept the following options:
−nodaemon

Do not fork into the background

−−no−console

No console (local) servers to be run

−−preserve−ld−vars

Preserve LD_* variables

−−version

Print the GDM version

−−help

Print simple description of accepted options

gdmsetup accepts all standard GNOME options.

CONFIGURATION

Configuration is done either by running gdmsetup or by editting the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf−custom file, which contains the overrides for /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. The graphical tool does not support all the options possible so editting the configuration file is sometimes necessary.

AUTHOR

GDM is being written and maintained by George (Jiri) Lebl <jirka@5z.com> based on the original codebase by Martin K. Peterson <mkp@mkp.net>.
