[SOLVED] Xorg says 'no screens found'

Tried to setup Xserver after a successful Arch Linux installation and I've got an issue.

Xorg.0.log

My graphics card is AMD Radeon RX 460. I have installed xf86-video-ati
package and created 20-radeon.conf file, but Xorg still says 'no screens found'.

Also, I've tried to install the proprietary driver.
Here is my pacman.conf file and the output of 'pacman -S catalyst-hook'.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg says 'no screens found'

Remove that xorg.conf and your attempts at using the catalyst repo out of the pacman.conf and watch as everything starts to work.

In all seriousness, this card is new enough and likely to use the new AMDGPU driver, so install xf86-video-amdgpu . No other configuration should be necessary. Right now you are forcing X to use an incorrect driver with your configuration.

I did everything that is above but it still doesn't work. Also I have removed xf86-video-ati package.
Xorg.0.log
pacman -Qe | grep xf86

Removing that package doesn't make your manually created configuration file disappear. Remove your 20-radeon.conf, you don't need it. You posted the same xorg.0.log be aware that there might be two possible locations

If it still doesn't work, in addition to a more recent xorg log post

lspci -k
