You mean, you can't get kdm up and running with BLFS at all ? I don't see no reason why it shouldn't work ! Right after installing kde, I got kdm up and running without any problems. I wanted to have the flexibility to start a login manager of my choice just by setting a variable in one of the config files. So, for that, I stole the xdm startup script from SuSE which runs various checks and lauches the login manager of user's choice. I've attached the startup script for your reference. You will find that this script reads it's configuration from the files windowmanager, displaymanager and language stored under /etc/sysconfig. If you decide to use this script and want to know what's inside these config files, I can mail you those too. If this script doesn't work for you, I'm willing to provide any info you need which, I might be able to provide.
