I have had to stay with sddm-0.18.1-r8 on this box to be able to start Wayland, or I end up with a black screen and a blinking cursor on the top left corner: https://bugs.gentoo.org/913862 https://bugs.gentoo.org/915483 > I changed it to x11.

I don't have a clear understanding of what you try, what results you obtain and what you change in your approach: - display-manager with sddm, selecting a plasma X11 session? - display-manager with sddm, selecting a plasma Wayland session? - startx with xserver? - startx with wayland? - startx with something else? --nextPart8391429.T7Z3S40VBb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
