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 ex-
     perienced.

     For X11 sessions, the cookie for X authorization is written into  a  tempo-
     rary 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.
