XFCE black screen

[4761]

Hello dear friends,

I have installed a second VM with Gentoo, now drifting a bit further away from @Pietinger's recommendation.
I have managed to create my own no-multilib/desktop profile and installed XFCE alongside sddm.
After I log into my user in sddm the screen goes black and the only thing I can see is the Xorg "X" mouse pointer.

I know that you guys will likely be able to help me out here, and if you could tell me the most important logs I could check out, I'd be happy to provider more info!

thank you

Review /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues.

It could be also, that SDDM does not play nice with XFCE, since SDDM is more a KDE thing.
