Description

The SDDM login screen can be forced to use software rendering when graphics acceleration causes problems. It is useful for systems where the greeter shows a black screen, visual glitches, or driver-related failures.

This is a display-manager configuration tweak, not an app. It can affect login performance and should be used when hardware rendering is unreliable.
