So let's start afresh. I edited the seemingly appropriate group xml
files I picked up from the main Centos repo. First I built a clean
install, did yum update, added the epel1 repo, and created a user. Then
I installed the rpms from the X11 DE:
yum install glx-utils initial-setup-gui mesa-dri-drivers
plymouth-system-theme spice-vdagent xorg-x11-drivers
xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-xauth xorg-x11-xinit xvattr
tigervnc-server wayland-protocols-devel xorg-x11-drv-keyboard
xorg-x11-drv-libinput xorg-x11-drv-mouse xorg-x11-drv-openchrome
there was:
No package xorg-x11-drv-openchrome available.
But that SHOULD be OK. Then I installed the Xfce DE:
yum install Thunar xfce-utils xfce4-panel xfce4-session xfce4-settings
xfconf xfdesktop xfwm4 gdm leafpad openssh-askpass orage polkit-gnome
thunar-archive-plugin thunar-volman tumbler xfce4-appfinder
xfce4-icon-theme xfce4-power-manager xfce4-session-engines
xfce4-terminal xfwm4-theme-nodoka xfwm4-themes pinentry
No package xfce-utils available.
No package leafpad available.
No package xfce4-icon-theme available.
No package xfwm4-theme-nodoka available.
This bothers me. Probably really need xfce-utils. Mousepad will do in
place of leafpad as that is what Fedora has switched to.
Powered off, connected my KVM that has my Kybd and mouse and directly
connected the HDMI monitor connection (the KVM only supports VGA). And
powered up....
I see the following on the serial console as the HDMI monitor goes blank:
[ OK ] Reached target Login Prompts.
Starting GNOME Display Manager...
[FAILED] Failed to start Crash recovery kernel arming.
See 'systemctl status kdump.service' for details.
[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager.
kdump is of no concern.
And Centos is still using the Gnome DM, not dmlight as Fedora does now.
NO dmlight in the repo, I tried installing it after the following test:
Finally get to the login screen and I log in and after a while I am back
at the login screen. :(
So I look at the last 40 lines in /var/log/messages:

'AuthList' on the module 'authList'. That property was defined with
'let' or 'const' inside the module. This was previously supported, but
is not correct according to the ES6 standard. Any symbols to be exported
from a module must be defined with 'var'. The property access will work
as previously for the time being, but please fix your code anyway.
