Overview
Request 534975 accepted
- reintroduced /etc/X11/xdm/keytable script and the hook-up in
/usr/lib/X11/display-manager to setup X11 keymaps, since YaST
is not able to use localectl already during installation due to
dbus and appropriate systemd services not running :-(
(bsc#1046436)
- Have update-alternatives handle Xinit's integration of the
displaymanager, replacing /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager.
- Add a dummy entry for 'console' - which is special-cased in the
display-manager script to 'exit early'. In order for it to become
an option for update-alternatives, the target needs to exist.
- Update /usr/lib/X11/display-manager to get the
default-displaymanager from the update-alternative setting
instead of reading it from /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager.
- Remove DISPLAYMANAGER from displaymanager.sysconfig template.
- Add xdm-with-update-alternative.patch so the needed changes can
be applied for suse_version >= 1330 only, not breaking Leap 42.x.
- All that together solves boo#1053863.
This will make xdm the "default-displaymanager" in alternatives, as long as the sddm update adapting to update-alternatives is not in Factory, maybe postpone submitting it until the sddm update landed in Factory? (It is still not accepted by KDE:Frameworks5- see https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/533883)
Wating for the major DMs to integrate the change: lightdm (done), gdm (en route), sddm (done in devel prj, not yet subbed) -> backlog
