The display manager upon bootup shows ACDM instead of GDM. However,
after entering my username and password, ACDM died and brought me to
the console login screen (CTL+ALT+F1).
Try:

ln -s /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession /etc/X11/Xsession

Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't work. ACDM still died.


This is what I did to substitute Entrance for SuSE defaults. I would
check what parameters the ACDM script (or the binary component of the
script) require to work. ...

I made two changes to /etc/init.d/xdm
the three lines marked + where added with with the path to the entrance
binary, in your case it should be the ACDM binary (approx line 90).


case "${DISPLAYMANAGER##*/}" in
kdm|kde|KDM|KDE) DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm
PIDFILE="/var/run/kdm.pid"
;;
xdm) DISPLAYMANAGER=$XDM_BIN
;;
gdm|GDM|Gnome|GNOME) DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm
PIDFILE="/var/run/gdm.pid"
;;
wdm|WDM) DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/X11R6/bin/wdm
;;
console) exit 0
;;
+ entrance) DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/entranced
+ PIDFILE="/var/run/entranced.pid"
+ ;;
*) DISPLAYMANAGER=$XDM_BIN
if test -x /opt/kde3/bin/kdm; then
DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm
PIDFILE="/var/run/kdm.pid"
fi
;;
esac

and (at approx line 125) I changed XDMOPTIONS which should contain the X
options required by the ACDM binary to load... (and local environment
setting may need to be included at this point)... BTW check whether the
ACDM requires any hardware modules to be loaded, if this is the case, at
this point you could insert a test to see if the module is loaded and
either wait for the module to load or load the module...

if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm" -a \
"$DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS" = "yes" -a \
"$DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER" = "no" ]; then
XDMOPTIONS="--no-console"
fi

+ if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = "/usr/sbin/entranced" ]; then
+ XDMOPTIONS="-nodaemon"
+ fi


Does this look anything like what you did?

Finally set the DISPLAYMANAGER setting in the YaST sysconfig editor to
whatever you choose to tag ACDM as...
