Description of problem:
When I boot up and try to log in via sddm, the mouse cursor is very small and the screen by default
is very dim. This makes it impossible to log in bright light.

It seems impossible to have the default brightness be high, or to change
the size of the pointer. Fn F7 does not work in sddm (that is the screen
brightness key which does work once I have logged in) and I have not
figured out how to change the size of the mouse pointer in sddm (I have a
large pointer in plasma, but again that only works once I have logged on.
Part of the problem is that I have a Dell xps13 the a 2000x1000 screen, so
the pointer (about 10 pixels in size) is almost invisible.

SDDM is known to be buggy. I had a different problem, and updating SDDM
fixed it. My installed version is sddm-0.19.0-15.1.mga8.

HTH,

BTW, if this doesn't work, try deleting old config files in your home
directory.

The question was also asked in a bug report
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31113

The answer by Sturmvogel was ...
Edit your /etc/environment and add
XCURSOR_SIZE=64
