Setting up remote login to KDE via LAN

Hi all. Does anyone know how to set up remote login access to KDE, with KDM please?

I would like to login to my main machine from my laptop on a LAN 4 port router.

I'm running KDE 3.3.0 on SuSE 9.2.

I can do a ssh from my laptop to the main machine, but AFAIK this does not use KDE or produce any GUI output to my laptop. I can run Midnight Commander over the LAN, and get output returned to the laptop, but I think this is just ascii based output.

I have Googled for remote KDM login, and found the following tldp howto:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/index.html

Are there any other tutorials available that someone can point me to, that would help me to get a GUI login to KDE please?

TIA ?(
