Installed CentOS-STREAM 8 ON A QEMU/KVM virtual machine. Initially the reboot went only to a blank display. Editing the grub menu to give a terminal boot was successful.
Succeeded to get a graphical screen with xinit and a terminal to explore the options. Was able to install xfce for a graphical desktop but gnome fails. The display managers gdm and sddm both fail with a blank screen with the mouse cursor. The others lxdm and lighdm don't show as being available.
How do I get the session to start properly?
I do not see a problem with Fedora 37. The guest seems to run Ok. Perhaps a CentOS forum would be a better place for the question?
Or, install Fedora Server and stop putzing around with the antique software RHEL and CentOS provides.
My apologies if I mis-parsed something.

Fedora 37 is the host
Which Fedora variant?
I just installed CentOS Stream cloud following the Fedora Server documentation (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/virtualization/vm-install...) and it works seamlessly.
What did you do exactly?
Your description is typical of a mismatched console configuration between virtual machine properties and guest OS configuration and independent of Fedora or any specific Fedora release.
