Indeed, my card uses nvidia and glx-alternative-nvidia is 0.5.1.
So is glx-diversions and glx-alternative-mesa.
What to do? There is no upgrade for these packages in testing.

If you follow this list you are aware of my efforts to get kde to start normally.
I am aware that many of you have succeeded, maybe some did not, I am among the latter.
Different systems and hardware react differently, I have a computer that works fine with sddm, but in my main system sddm throws a black screen, and both have similar configurations.
My question is: can somebody help with making kde start normally?
So far no dm has worked, I am forced to start kde with "startx startkde".
Thank you.

Hi,

Do you have a Nvidia card on the non-working computer? If you have and glx-alternatives is <0.6.1 you might be affected by this bug https://bugs.debian.org/799948

I'm not sure if that bug is in 0.5.1. It was in 0.6.0. What worked for me was to add user sddm to video group in /etc/group
