I've recently upgraded to KDE5 now it's appeared stable and whilst it works perfectly, the login manager sddm fails miserably and locks my machine up. I've tried it on another machine with Gentoo with the same result, the only thing they have in common is they use the nvidia-drivers rather than nouveau.
Has anyone actually got sddm to work? Is it a compatibility issue with the nvidia drivers? I've switched to lightdm for the moment but it doesn't support pam so isn't ideal.

lightdm should just work fine with pam, not sure I can follow?

Have you added the sddm user to the video group?

Maybe I've misunderstood this message and there is an issue with my set up

Code:
* Messages for package kde-plasma/kwallet-pam-5.6.2-r1:

 *
 * This package enables auto-unlocking of kde-frameworks/kwallet:5.
 * You have also selected support for legacy kde-apps/kwalletd:4.
 * List of things to make it work:
 * 1.  Use same password for login and kwallet
 * 2.  A display manager with support for PAM
 * 3.a Have the following lines in the display manager's pam.d file:
 *     -auth        optional        pam_kwallet5.so
 *     -session     optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start
 *     -auth        optional        pam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4
 *     -session     optional        pam_kwallet.so
 * 3.b Checking installed DMs...
 *     LightDM - /etc/pam.d/lightdm ...BAD

I've checked that I'm in the video group and my session seems ok
Code:
gentoo init.d # ck-list-sessions
Session4:
        unix-user = '500'
        realname = 'Andrew Walker'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = TRUE
        x11-display = ':0'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
        display-device = ''
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2016-04-07T11:24:01.241954Z'
        login-session-id = '4'
gentoo init.d #


I'd rather use sddm as that is the recommended KDE manager though.

You need to add those lines to lightdm's PAM file.

Sddm + nvidia binary works excellent here but I'm also using systemd.

Fixed it! The problem appears to be that the user 'sddm' needs to be in the 'video' group for it to work.

Yes, this is covered by the upgrade guide in Gentoo Wiki.
