Yes, I was not sure on how to do that, so I used kcmshell5 kcm_sddm (inside
another window manager) to get to the same point.  Now it seems to me like
going round the Earth just to get to the other side of the block, but it
worked.

Oh! Sorry, I misread your message.  You don't need sddm if you're using gdm.

I don't have that installed, I might be using whatever comes with gnome
and gdm.

OK, is x11-misc/sddm installed?

Did you create a config file as advise by the elog?

But, as mentioned, even from bash, using "startx", the black screen is

video group.
