+# Testing
+
+## Installation
+
+You need to build and install lightdm and lightdm-kde in the same prefix. =
We are
+going to assume both are installed in $PREFIX
+
+## Set lightdm-kde-greeter as lightdm greeter
+
+You can either do:
+
+    cd $PREFIX/share/xgreeters/
+    ln -s lightdm-kde-greeter.desktop default.desktop
+
+or:
+
+- edit $PREFIX/etc/lightdm.conf
+- find the group "[SeatDefaults]"
+- set the "greeter-session" key to "lightdm-kde-greeter"
+
+But your changes will get overwritten next time you run `make install` in
+lightdm directory.
+
+## Fix session lists
+
+Lightdm needs to know which sessions are available:
+
+    cd $PREFIX/share
+    ln -s /usr/share/xsessions
+
+## Running
+
+Start lightdm like this:
+
+    $PREFIX/sbin/lightdm --test-mode --debug
+
+Output of the greeter is sent to `$HOME/.cache/lightdm/log/x-$N-greeter.lo=
g`,
+where $N starts at 1 and increase each time you close the window. $N does =
not
+increase if you stop lightdm with Ctrl+C, so using Ctrl+C is the recommend=
ed
+way to stop it.
+
+Note: the test X server is using a QWERTY layout. Keep this in mind if you=
 are
+using a different layout when you type your password.
