If i start my laptop the sddm session starts on tty7 as normal.
then i can login just normal and my desktop(kde) starts.

But then, when i change from tty7 (where my active kde session is) to any 
other tty and then back to tty7 i get the sddm login screen with my greyed 
"pre-typed" password.
 Its the same image as if you login, hit enter , and then the image after that 
(just before the kde loading screen starts)
Problem is, i can only move my mouse and pressing any key does nothing.
