X server error 'no screens found' on GNOME Boxes

Good day everyone!

I'm trying to run Xorg on my fresh Arch Linux installation inside of GNOME Boxes. However, startx gives me an error no screens found. I've installed xorg, xorg-xinit, xorg-server and xf86-video-qxl.

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:01.0 VGA comp1atible controller: Red Hat, Inc. QXL paravirtual graphic card (rev 04)

I'm not sure, how should i post an entire log file here, so I'm going to post only a part of it (hope this will be enough).

Xorg.0.log:

[  10379.048] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
[  10379.048] (==) No Layout section.  Using the first Screen section.

	Using a default monitor configuration.

[  10379.058] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
...
[  10379.058] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have usable configuration.

Any ideas about what am I doing wrong?
