Hi there,

I'm trying to switch my video card from radeon to geforce, using nvidia drivers.

I followed the guides https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/nvidia-drivers, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SDDM#Service and https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Guide, but all I get when I boot the system is a black screen with the just the mouse pointer, and no possibility to log in into the DE (plasma). I've searched the forum but found nothing useful.

emerge --info:

dmesg:
http://dpaste.com/8K4HVRC3G


This is what I get in the /var/log/sddm.log when I try to restart the display-manager service:
Code:

Here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
http://dpaste.com/C24N95B5B

Kernel is:
Code:
uname -r
5.10.61-gentoo


and its config:
http://dpaste.com/HCS9XGCYQ


Any ideas?

Thanks
