Booting KDE on arm, sddm fails to present a login screen, displaying only a black screen with an 'X' mouse cursor.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2015-08-08 15:48:55 UTC 
Something apparently regressed... if this worked on f22, did it (work on f22)?
Comment 2 Paul Whalen 2015-10-13 13:59:57 UTC 
closing, this is working again in f23 tc1.
