I don't know why I got it into my head that it would start on tty 8. Anyway, when I finally got it to reproduce (took a few restarts) I didn't get a blinking cursor on tty 2, the monitor just goes to sleep (kind of like it does when it has no signal). Switching to tty 1 showed me the init log and let me log on so I could run the commands suggested earlier in this thread: > > $ ps aux | grep sddm > > root 2253 0.0 0.0 142408 14248 ?

Should 'sddm' perhaps be 'display-manager' in the command above? Yes, the sddm DM is started by the 'display-manager' OpenRC service from the 'default' runlevel: ~ $ rc-update -s -v | grep display display-manager | default display-manager-setup | > Anyway: > > rc-status > > Runlevel: default > > > > sysklogd [ > > started ] dhcpcd > > [ started ] dbus > > [ started ] netmount > > [ started ] chronyd > > [ started ] cupsd > > [ started ] switcheroo-control > > [ started ] display-manager > > [ started ] numlock > > [ started ] local > > [ started > > ]> > > Dynamic Runlevel: hotplugged > > Dynamic Runlevel: needed/wanted > > > > display-manager-setup [ > > started ] avahi-daemon > > [ started ]> > > Dynamic Runlevel: manual > > This is also what it looks like for a successful startup.

This makes me suspect again either some hardware issue, or some video driver issue. Since the fault is intermittent and apparently random, what else can control the signal to the monitor? o_O --nextPart1884923.tdWV9SEqCh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
