NAME kdm - KDE Display Manager SYNOPSIS kdm [options] [tty] DESCRIPTION kdm is the KDE display manager also known as login manager. It shows a graphical login screen for username and password. After authenticating the user it starts a session. kdm can be configured for remote login via XDMCP. XDMCP is the "X Display Manager Control Protocol" which is used to set up connections between remote systems over the network. kdm is a derivative of xdm. man 1 xdm may provide useful information (requires installed xdm). For X-related problems try man 7x X and man 1 startx.

That's a Debian manpage which is not included in the upstream code. Get the manpage added upstream if you want us to ship it.
