In:   /usr/share/sddm/sddm.conf.d/00default.conf
I change to 
Numlock=on

It makes no difference, when system boots the "Numlock" is still off.  There is no default user login either and some kind of "Consoll log for..." on the lower right hand corner (that user don't need to see).

Previously I did not use any log-in manager, I start X from 
.bash_profile
if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec startx; fi

.xinitrc
exec startxfce4
 
but I'm not sure if it runs/starts in VT=7 
How to check or force X to VT=7
