One known cause of blank screens with an active cursor under kde has to with the use of "compositing" to support all the special effects kde has. If there is a quirk/difference/incompatibility in the video hardware then whenever certain special effects are used, a problem can happen. FWIW, long ago (circa 1996) I recall a bug in a video driver that caused MS Windows to crash when copying files - the flying-paper-between-folders graphic effect is actually what triggered the problem. This thread: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=91932 mentions how to disable compositing within kde to see if that affects the problem.
