Screen doesn't resize like normally and I check openrc logs, seems like I miss xdm

What exactly did you do to install the Nouveau drivers?
Did you build and install a new kernel?
If you did: please check that you boot from the kernel you compiled. Run
The first line should be something like:
| Quote: | | [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.18.0 (root@lithium) (gcc (Gentoo 11.3.0 p4) 11.3.0, GNU ld (Gentoo 2.37_p1 p2) 2.37) #14 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue May 24 01:33:07 CEST 2022 |
Check the version number, the machine name of the machine where the kernel was compiled and the date at the end of the line. It should be the date (and time) when you compiled the kernel. |

I installed it by emerging nvidia firmware and adding VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau"
to make.conf and then emerging world[/code]

Yeah, but the Wiki page tells you to enable a few kernel options and to build a new kernel as well...
I don't know if that's necessary - but that's what I would do. |

I thought I didn't need since I already had those options enabled but I will try

Nerd_516,
Make friends with wgetpaste and share your kernel .config file.
Also post the output of

Nerd_516,
Its the file that controls what goes into your kernel and how when you run make.
You can look at it but do not change it with a text editor.
It should be at /usr/src/linux/.config The leading dot (.) in the filename means that it will not show in the output of the ls command unless you use
The nouveau driver is in two parts, one in the kernel and one for Xorg.
You need both parts.
Further, the kernel part will load firmware but how/when is does that depends on if you have nouveau=m or nouveau=y.
