SDDM is quite stable. Been using it with KDE since, I believe, F24.

I did a fresh install of the LXqt spin in a Virtual Machine and verified that no
entries are shown when the "who" or "users" command is issued.
Also, "last" does not show any user entries either.
I then enabled and started sshd and did an "ssh localhost". After which the
"who",
"users", and "last" commands do show entries.
Conclusion, there is a configuration that needs to be changed to enable recording of
graphic logins.
Should not be hard to find.....but I need more coffee.
Yeah, I'm hip. I'm _fairly_ certain it's lxdm that's at fault. There
are a lot of things on the web regarding this issue. If you get a
chance, you might try using lightdm as the display manager and see if
that buys you anything.
Although the OP just wanted to see if LXQt would work on an old laptop
he had. I don't think it's critical, but it would be nice to know what
it is. If it is lxdm, it could affect other desktops.
