Eventually, I fixed the issue!
I was using the 340xx nvidia driver instead of 390xx recommended for
my GT560M GPU.
I remember now that I had to go to 340xx a long time ago because 390xx
was not maintained anymore with kernel updates.
It now works with kdm and sddm so I switch to sddm as it is recommended.

I discovered the issue when I switched to the latest kernel and got
nvidia driver not launched (I had the wrong screen resolution, so it
was obvious that something was wrong).
However I had to blacklist nouveau, otherwise, the nvidia driver did not launch.

Thanks for help.
