You need to use KDM for it to work... add the following line to /etc/ttys:
ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure

then run (as root): genkdmconf

Then go back into Login Manager and at the bottom you will see
"Administrator Mode", click on it and enter roots password. Now use
Login Manager to configure KDM... Save the settings and then use
"shutdown now" to start KDM.
