SDDM(1)				     sddm			       SDDM(1)

NAME
       sddm - the simple desktop display manager

SYNOPSIS
       sddm [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION
       sddm is a display and login manager based on Qt technologies.

       Using QtQuick and QML, designers	are given the ability to easily	create
       pleasant, modern	looking	interfaces for sddm.

       sddm  runs the greeter as a system user named sddm whose	home directory
       needs to	be set to /var/lib/sddm.

       If pam and systemd are available, the greeter will go  through  logind,
       which will give it access to drm	devices.

       Distributions  without  pam  and	systemd	will need to put the sddm user
       into the	video group, otherwise errors regarding	 GL  and  drm  devices
       might be	experienced.

       For X11 sessions, the cookie for	X authorization	is written into	a tem-
       porary file /tmp/xauth_XXXXXX, owned and	only accessible	by the user.

OPTIONS
       --test-mode
	      Start daemon in test mode.

       --example-config
	      Print the	complete current configuration to stdout

       --help, -h
	      Show help	message	and exit.
