Sddm hangs with a blank cursor

[metaldoctor]

This bug happens approximately once or twice a week. My laptop gets switched off every day, and after a cold start in the morning I cannot boot up to sddm login prompt. I just see the mouse cursor, so X seems to be started and cannot go further.
After that I can correctly power my laptop off, or switch to one of the native terminals. During the second power on I'm able to login.
Here - https://imgur.com/P2eltiP is another problem which can happen in a couple of hours of work. It's a blinking distorted artifact frame around a window in focus. It dissapears when I move that window, so it is not that critical.

My .xsession-errors contents:
...
The X11 connection broke: I/O error (code 1)
XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0"
      after 11123 requests (11123 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

I expected sddm to boot up to login invitation.

I've got just a cursor on a black screen.
