Black screen when starting X

I was experiencing problems with LightDM+KDE, and so I decided to reinstall xorg.
Now, I tried installing SDDM and KDE, but now there's only a black screen on boot. I followed the instructions for starting SDDM and xorg on boot. I'm using an NVIDIA GTX 980 if that's relevant.
I also cannot modprobe nvidia because it can't find it (it's looking in /lib/modules/4.4.21-1-lts if that helps).

Re: Black screen when starting X

This could be more than a few things. What does journalctl show? Are you using nouveau or nvidia-lts? mesa-libgl etc etc installed correctly? Does X even start with xinit? What did you try to get it working so far?
