Are you saying it is specifically the LOGON screen that is black? When you 'startx' I presume there is no login screen since you are already logged in. correct. booting to graphical.target present black logon screen and restarting sddm doesn't change it nor does <ctrl><alt><backspace> twice.
startx as <user> present the same environment/display I had previously booting to graphical.target and does so from either multi-user or graphical.target
Perhaps, just perhaps, something has corrupted, removed or otherwise affected the files concerned with the display of the graphical image and the overlay of the dialogue box.
I use to know about these things for KDE3, played with trying to customise/create one of my own, but for the current system, SDDM and all, I don't know where to begin.
Perhaps other might give you a clue what to look for, what to verify?
Or perhaps the best thing is to investigate using yast/zypper/rpm and the man pages what is involved and reinstall. Which is a memory fart as to how I found out for KDE3 ...
Oh, wait, this is Tumbleweed ...
