User selector (login manager) recommendation
Hello,
I'm looking for a display (login) manager that:
- can be used 100% using keyboard
- displays all the users that have accounts in the system on a list (so you don't have to type your username)
- supports passwordless login (which is not the same as auto login)
- is lightweight
- supports "switch user" feature
Generally the workflow should be as follows:
arrow to select your user, enter.
The criteria are fulfilled currently by LXDM but I'm constantly having issues with multiple monitors setup and setting up desired resolution.

Multiple times 
None of that seems to fit my criteria.

I think at this point, lightweight and user-switch are (sort of, kind of) mutually exclusive.

Display managers shouldn't cause that.
Are you using lxdm or lxdm-gtk3 ?
What WindowManager / Desktop Environment ?
Edit :
followed the link in seth post.
looks like a tricky setup requiring workarounds found through trial and error.
Question withdrawn.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
