Comment 2 Kevin Kofler 2013-12-02 08:12:02 UTC
Your system was installed with SDDM and thus is still using SDDM. If you want to switch to KDM, you have to do so explicitly:
su -
yum install kdm
systemctl --force enable kdm.service

Comment 3 Steve 2013-12-02 08:40:28 UTC
systemctl --force enable kdm.service

fixed error
