Typing my password in logs in fine, so it's definitely something stopping sddm from displaying the screen, rather than a total failure.

I do have those options set at boot, I posted before and after I installed the nVidia drivers, so i probably caused some confusion there.

I did also try adding a 30 second timer as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1350107 but no dice there either.

I don't see anything wrong with the above.  All looks like what my systems look like.....

That being said, I just looked back on your previous logs and noticed that your
kernel boot line seems significantly different than mine.

In your Xorg.log you have....

[    22.816] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.17.12-200.fc28.x86_64
root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root ro resume=/dev/mapper/fedora-swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora/root
rd.luks.uuid=luks-0f4479d6-17df-4fb0-a29f-02feb8367c61 rd.lvm.lv=fedora/swap
nomodeset=1 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8

While I have....

[     8.437] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.17.14-202.fc28.x86_64
root=UUID=4455f2e9-fed2-4e1e-856d-642b531547f9 ro rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1

I wonder if you make changes at boot time to add those extra bits if it would make
any difference?

Also, while you do have a blank screen it seems sddm thinks all is fine.  Wonder what
would happen if you typed in your password.
