[SOLVED] Error detecting screen on xorg - nvidia drivers

Hi, this is my first post here.
I am trying to install bspwm using xinit with a 2060 Super installed, the cpu doesn't have built in graphics. I've got the nvidia and nvidia-utils packages installed as well as arandr (dont know if this is relevant).

Running startx returns an error: "No Screens Found", the process then terminates.

I have tried installing nouveau and fbdev: startx works, but the screen just goes black and doesn't respond to input.

I've got bspwm working on this computer before with the nvidia drivers, so I have no clue what the error is.
SOME LOG FILES:
Xorg.0.log:

Thanks for any help

As you run the zen kernel you will need to install linux-zen-headers and nvidia-dkms for the nvidia module to be built for your zen kernel. The nvidia package is only valid for the standard linux kernel, as kernel modules need to be built against each respective kernel.
