I've just installed X11 using the Gentoo wiki, but I'm having trouble with startx. I get the error "no screens found" when I run startx, both as a normal user and root.


Startx log: https://pastebin.com/1YbQU0FW

I have an Nvidia GT 1030 GPU, and recently installed nouveau in case that matters.

Edit:
Loading nouveau as a module solved the issue

Code:
[   918.610] (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: -19
[   918.610] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory


Looks like the kernel bits are not yet ready.

Until /dev/dri/card0 and a hi-res console are prepared, Xorg will not work with nouveau nor the backup modesetting driver.

I suggest looking at dmesg for any issues preventing this.

I highly recommend setting CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m in the kernel and not built-in (aka * or y) in order to easily load any missing firmware (if any).
