Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't work

Please post the full system journal for a boot with the issue as well as the full contents of Xorg.log.  Please also include details of how X is started, what configuration you have performed and what you have tried so far.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't work

Your kernel arguments include "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" but that should be "nvidia_drm.modeset=1".  Although this is (I believe) just for using the modesetting driver, are you sure you don't want to use nvidia or nouveau?

I want to use nvidia, but not using that option gives different error

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't work

What nvidia drivers have you installed / configured?

What's the output of `cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset`?

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't work

If you want to use nvidia, why have you not installed it? Xorg never loads the nvidia ddx, so nvidia-utils isn't installed.
