[Solved] Black blank screen on SDDM
Recently I made an upgrade of artix on my 10th gen intel laptop and ran into problems with SDDM; screen went black but I got mouse cursor. Also I got an error message in the /var/log/sddm.log, something like sddm-helper returned 11
I was able to login as a user and run startx though.
I found a lot of similar troubles but none of the hints helped me solve my problem so I figure I shall share:
On the Arch Intel wiki page is mentioned that the xf86-intel-video driver is no longer needed and I tried to remove it, along with the Intel graphics configuration I had in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
This was the simple trick that made brought my laptop to live again.
Just in case you are looking to solve the same problem.
Cheers,
Erik
