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?

Sorry, forgot to add that have already done that.

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

Thank you.

hmmm, I am using gnome and also get the blank screen, and I don't have
an sddm user at all, so I wonder if its a bit more basic.

Just in case you missed it and this applies to your problem, it was explained 
recently on this M/L if you are using NVidia then you need to add sddm to the 
video group.

[gentoo-user] blank (black) screen on kde 5

[Francisco Ares]

Hi, alll.

After upgrading to kde 5 (plasma), there is a big problem.

No matter if I use sddm to manage user authentication, or common console
login to bash and then to X and kde, the result is the same, a black screen
with the mouse on it.

If I right-click on that blackness, a menu appears, the standard desktop
menu, offering so set up the desktop. If I choose this option, a title bar
with borders around more blackness appears. I am able to move that window,
but can't see anything in ou outside of it.

I have tried to setup kde 5 look and feel with every modules "kcmshell5"
could list, but no success.

I have seen several messages on the net with people having the same issues,
but no final solution to me. Have already created a brand new user, with no
possible wrong configurations from the past, and even so, just blackness.

At least, I could direct the X error messages to a file, and here it is:
