it(at the
moment)

can you tell me the gdm and kdm version 
if its older gdm (gdm< 2.24)
then you can have video output by adding gdm legacy option
that is line becomes - auth sufficient pam_face_authentication.so gdmlegacy
kdm plugin instructions , ill compile in coming days
some more testing is required

and thanks for the interest in the project

kdm version : 4:4.2.4-1+b1
gdm version : 2.20.9-1.1

I just try gdmlegacy, still no video (put the line in /etc/pam.d/gdm)
For kdm no problems i'm on holliday soon, i have all the time :)

I have two other strange things :
when i log in, composite is disable by an application
and my kde mix two languages, french and english (i'm french so the first one 
is the
normal one :) )
it's not big problems but can be annoying.

And for the interest in the project, it look's like a realy good one so it's 
normal.
if you wan't me to test other things, don't hesitate to ask.

gdmlegacy should work.. i havent tested it yet ( since it was old code) i 
assumed it
will work , i will do some testing , and fix it now.

about the KDE mixing , probably the application doesnt have the french 
translation
files , there are two ways Qt - has qtlinguist whihch produces the ts file and 
GNU
has gettext which createst po files i think ... even i am not an expert in this 
, you
could ask someone in   #kde-devel , in irc.freenode.net

yup it would be great , for testing and getting the word out about the project 
, but
that is once i get rid of some bugs (like the gdmlegacy one) .

you could join the mailing -list , link is on the main page , right now i am 
the only
one there =)

ok kde fixed (damn debian unstable dist-upgrade) 

i replace gdmlegacy by enableX and now i got the video while i log in.

hmm  thats wonderful news actually, but not sure why enableX worked (used for 
su etc)
 and gdmlegacy  did not , which distro do you use, version etc, i could try it out on
that , and see if the output differs with some other distro with older gdm

i just confirmed with Ubuntu 8.04 , it seems to work ,
i will test it on openSUSE 10.3 tmmrw ,

something is wrong btw ! IT WAS NOT supposed to work, i will try figuring out 
how
Xwindow was shown ( it was supposed to miss the Xauthority) 

i am happy =)

if you have some time , it would be great if you could try with newer gdm's
that is after 2.24+


Thanks

Hello, still getting some problems with kde, 
For information, on my debian kdmrc is on /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc

i do as tell in the install doc , create a /etc/pam.d/kde4-faceauthentication 
try
with kdm-faceauthentication too , nothing happens.

With gdm still the same too, need enableX to have video.

I can soon test on another computer (buy a new laptop monday :) ) but for now 
got a
little camera problem (image is upside down and i don't have any clue how to 
put it
in the right side)

you mean GDM works with enableX ?

can do out put of ls in /etc/pam.d/

when you login to KDM, you need to right click and select the authentication 
plugin
as Username + Face

Yes gdm works with enableX but when face recognition fail and i give my 
password, gdm
restart most of the time.

With kdm i see the select plugin menu but i don't have the picture when i 
select it.

here is the ls of my /etc/pam.d/ :

atd       chsh            common-password  cups           kde4-faceauthenticate 
kdm-np    other   ppp    su
chfn      common-account  common-session   gdm            kdm                   

login     passwd  samba  sudo
chpasswd  common-auth     cron             gdm-autologin  kdm-faceauthenticate  

newusers  polkit  sshd   xscreensaver

ok, i'm an idiot :)

it works better when i put enablex on kdm too

so, for debian sid (unstable) here are the directory and file name :

kgreet are under /usr/lib/kde4/
you need kdm-faceauthenticate in /etc/pam.d/
kdmrc is under /etc/kde4/kdm/
kdm themes are under /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/

but with both gdm and kdm i got problem when i'm not recognise, it crash
