After updating to plasma 6 autologin got broken.
No autologin and even no sddm login screen. Just black screen and white text cursor at the left top corner.
Pressing Alt+Ctrl+F1 shows sddm login screen with wrong session type selected: Plasma (Wayland). Since wayland doesn't work for me, I have to select Plasma (X11) session type and then I can log into kde desktop.

Here is my /etc/sddm.cond.d/01gentoo.conf:
Code:
[General]
# Remove qtvirtualkeyboard as InputMethod default
InputMethod=

[Autologin]
User=username
Session=plasma.desktop


Should I make any changes here to get autologin into plasma X11 working again?

I added DisplayServer=X11 to /etc/sddm.conf (or /etc/sddm.conf.d/02X11.cond but have not tried it yet ! News item was talking about config of your display manager, so that is why I went this way. But again, monitor is not yet connected to that machine, so I do not know :)

That's not what the news item said - you simply pick your session in SDDM's login screen, but this is unrelated to AutoLogin anyway?
