With sddm as the display manager for a f35 system get a black screen with a mouse cursor but limited response to the keyboard. Can only switch to an alternate screen and then enter commands. Can use lightdm. Don't see anything wrong in sddm.conf. Is sddm tied to wayland and won't run in X11 ?

Nope, I use it and only run X11. I seem to recall a bug that briefly existed before an update fixed it where if you logged out, it wouldn't prompt you to log in again. Here are the sddm related rpms I have installed:
sddm-0.19.0-18.fc35.x86_64 sddm-breeze-5.23.4-1.fc35.noarch
(at least the only ones with sddm in the name).
