I upgraded from Fedora 38 to Fedora 39 on an AMD Ryzen 5 5600
with Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050 graphics card.  I'm running KDE
Plasma-X11, not Wayland.

I tried to install the GPU drivers several ways using repos/RPMs,
but was not successful.  I am using the Nvidia proprietary
drivers.  They support dual monitors with no problems; I've had
problems with the nouveau driver and dual monitors in the past.

I start the system in multi-user (CLI) mode and then run "startx"
to start X11 and Plasma.  (I started doing this in F38 because of
sddm hanging, which I was not able to resolve.)

When I log in with my user account and run startx, I get a black
screen (extending across both monitors) with an X cursor.  The
cursor moves in response to the mouse, but neither left or right
mouse button do anything. I can get to an alternate console
using alt-F3 and kill the login.

I have discovered a bit of a rain dance to get a working system.  I
can log in as root, run startx, and get a working KDE Plasma-X11
screen.  Then I log out to the sddm screen and log in again with
my user account.  After this, everything (or almost everything)
works correctly.

I've checked the system logs and the Xorg log for any error
or warning messages, but nothing looks incorrect or at all
informative.

Does anyone have any suggestions or insights into this problem?

I was finding that X11 was less stable then wayland recently.
It seems that some update made plasma unstable.
There are kde plasma and nvidia update happening at the same time.
I'm trying to report the issues and figure out which of the nvidia drivers
and kde is at fault.

I have downgraded to the 535 nvidia drivers and that sort of helped.
But what seems to be helping is downgrading kde.

Do thing improve for you if you do dnf downgrade kde-wayland?
Yes I noticed you are on X11 - but see if this helps.
If it does please follow up here. Also report what version of nvidia
drivers your using please.

Following up on this.

The 545 drive is not the problem, it is a change in the last kde update.
dnf downgrade kde-wayland got me back to working.
