Do *not* enable this service, or sddm will be started every time the computer boots. This is not the behaviour you want with a graphical login manager. Since the service is disabled, it can only be started manually. This is done in graphical.target, which is called only when you are booting into graphical desktop (formerly called runlevel 5). I am going to go out on a limb here, and guess that the service is currently inactive because you are now logged in. Noted and thanks. XDM has two roles in openSUSE:
1: It /can/ function as a true, zero frills login manager/greeter. I saw XDM in action when I enabled it yes (zero frills). I have since reverted back to *0 /usr/lib/X11/playmanager/sddm auto mode
2: It usually plays the role of a chainloader, starting whatever the configured DM is, such as GDM, LightDM, or SDDM.
