  * What led up to the situation?

Installed task-lxqt-desktop. Replacement of lightdm by sddm resulted in inability to log in. Screen presented is all white, but cursor is visible, and keyboard functions appear to be intact.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

Reconfigured to use lightdm and was able to log in to the system. Removed lightdm, installed xdm, and that was also successful for logging in.

  * What was the outcome of this action?

Have left system temporarily configured to use xdm until sddm is fixed.

ii  sddm-theme-breeze [sddm-theme]  4:5.8.2-1

The breeze theme causes sddm to use the composite mode, this has caused issues with certain graphical cards in the past. Could you try installing sddm-theme-maui and removing sddm-theme-breeze?

Also, could you share the output of:
lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12

Happy hacking,
