Okay, ...
One new kernel later (along with some grub debugging :-), world updated, ...
X11 still isn't working - first it complained it couldn't find twm, so I
emerged that, now startx just runs and exits, and the log doesn't seem
to show anything wrong ...
Wayland is interesting ... if I try to startplasma-wayland, it comes up
with the starting plasma stuff, and there's a mouse cursor, but nothing
except a black screen and the cursor. When I kill it from a root tty,
there's an error
Failed to create wl_display (No such file or directory)
which a google tells me I haven't got a compositor ...
I also get further errors, but they're probably a consequence -
Could not load the Qt platform plugin "Wayland" in "" even though it was
found
and the same error for xcb.
Cheers,
Wol
