DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER="Xorg"
Not a question asked.
DISPLAYMANAGER="sddm"
grep DISPLAYMANAGER= /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager grep DEFAULT_WM= /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager So, we know your login manager/greeter is set to sddm, but we still don't know which window manager or desktop environment you want or expect.

Looks likely to be KDE/Plasma.
Removing the xf86-video-nouveau rpm does not help; actually a bit worse. The .xsessions file has the same error message.
In booting, I do not get a command line. (Shouldn't I?) All I get is a big image of Leap 42.2, and a line of 'other' options. Anyway, doing
What is "in booting", the Grub boot menu? After making a selection or allowing timeout? Grub2 doesn't serve up an automatic kernel cmdline for editing like Gfxboot with Grub did. If you want some other option, you have to work for it a little. Strike the "e" key, up, down, or hit ESC to make a non-default selection. Try removing the splash and quiet parameters from the default selection so that you can try to spot errors among the boot messages. You may have a broken Plymouth, which unless you are using encrypted partitions amounts to little but eye candy. Maybe that's the difference between my GT218 42.2/Plasma working as expected and yours not. I don't have Plymouth installed (zypper rm plymouth; zypper al plymouth). Also, I use KDM (with UseTheme=false around line 458 in kdmrc), not SDDM.
ctrl-alt-F1 followed by a login and 'startx' fails.
Fails how? Nothing but a black screen? Scrambled output? Error message(s)? Are you returned to a prompt? Try also 'startx -- :1' if you get a prompt back. Do you have an .xsession-errors file? If yes, what's in it?
I have never used pastebin and do not know the procedures.
The instructions are thereupon. The idea is we need the whole log, not just selected excerpts, but it doesn't need to persist in the email archives forever, and those who won't be trying to help don't need personal copies delivered. Besides http://susepaste.org/ there are options like http://pastebin.org/ and your own personal web space, plus the susepaste command, if it is installed. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
