I'm using a module-less Zen Kernel setup but have also tried enabling modules back and leave the driver loading job for the initramfs, but no luck with that. I've even double-checked the wiki for all the needed firmware blobs, and got the exact same result.
What I noticed is that when Gentoo finishes booting and tries to start SDDM, it fails. However, I can still see SDDM processes on htop. If I kill those and try to manually start SDDM, I get:

Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.
