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.

OPTIONS

       --test-mode
              Start daemon in test mode.

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