Edit DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager .
You will also need to add “xdmcp” to FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT in
/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 and allow broadcasts if you are running a
firewall. (refer to /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/xdmcp)
Also make sure that name resolution works for all hosts involved on all
hosts involved.

Good luck,

done, but when I try to connecto with the remote PC I only get a black
screen :frowning:

I believe you must also edit file kdmrc:

This just worked for me on a new install of 11.3:
1.
Edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
Change to:
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS=“yes”

Read through the rest to know what is controlled there.
2.
Edit /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc
Change to:
[Xdmcp]

Whether KDM should listen to incoming XDMCP requests.

Default is false

Enable=true

Read through the rest to know what is controlled there.
3.
Edit the Suse firewall settings, either open ports or shut it down depending on your situation

Logout and Log back in (restart X)

Good Luck
