I get a black KDE screen. But I can launch plasma with startx normally from VT1.
Code:
$ qlist -Iv sddm plasma-meta
acct-group/sddm-0-r1
acct-user/sddm-0-r1
kde-plasma/plasma-meta-6.2.4
kde-plasma/sddm-kcm-6.2.4
x11-misc/sddm-0.21.0_p20240723-r10

Any debugging hints will be gratefully received.

[SOLVED] From SDDM, Plasma (Wayland) launches Plasma normally but Plasma (X11) launches a "frozen", black-screen version. [/SOLVED]

When I turn off Autologin, SDDM boots. When I choose Plasma (X11), Plasma boots a black screen with two processes I launched from 10-agent-startup.sh. The mouse and keyboard work but otherwise Plasma is "frozen". When I choose Plasma (Wayland) Plasma boots normally. I had planned to wait a bit before adopting Wayland but I don't seem to have a choice. So far it's worked fine with no obvious problems (yet).

Here's sddm.log for Wayland:
