I am now getting an xauth: file /root/.serverauth.xxxxx does not exist error. Googling for this I found no solution yet. Furthermore, it appears that xorg-x11 is not installed, only xorg-server. Should that be enough?

Somehow, nvidia-kernel-modules crept into my world file. It must have been there when downloading the tarball. Even when I removed the gfxcard-nvidia mix-in it didn't' go away. This seems responsible for all the unnecessary nvidia stuff.

to the 1st question: Yes, of course (it's in the guide). However, there's a whole lot of services unused, many more than I would expect: lvmetad [ stopped ] mit-krb5kdc [ stopped ] samba [ stopped ] udev-settle [ stopped ] brltty [ stopped ] net.lo [ stopped ] bootlogd [ stopped ] dnsmasq [ stopped ] busybox-watchdog [ stopped ] cupsd [ stopped ] net-online [ stopped ] apache2 [ stopped ] cups-browsed [ stopped ] lvm [ stopped ] mdraid [ stopped ] openrc-settingsd [ started ] device-mapper [ stopped ] osclock [ stopped ] consolefont [ stopped ] nvidia-persistenced [ stopped ] pydoc-2.7 [ stopped ] git-daemon [ stopped ] dhcpcd [ stopped ] boltd [ stopped ] pwcheck [ stopped ] runsvdir [ stopped ] dmcrypt [ stopped ] iptables [ stopped ] swclock [ stopped ] pciparm [ stopped ] ip6tables [ stopped ] saslauthd [ stopped ] busybox-ntpd [ stopped ] gpm [ stopped ] xdm-setup [ stopped ] s6-svscan [ stopped ] mit-krb5kadmind [ stopped ] numlock [ stopped ] udev-postmount [ stopped ] mit-krb5kpropd [ stopped ] xdm [ stopped ] avahi-dnsconfd [ stopped ] pydoc-3.7 [ stopped ] rsyncd [ stopped ] fuse [ stopped ] mdadm [ stopped ] slapd [ stopped ] dmeventd [ stopped ] lvm-monitoring [ stopped ] agetty [ stopped ] wpa_supplicant [ stopped ] nvidia-smi [ stopped ] To the 2nd question: SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 1 0 root seat0 tty1 1 sessions listed. Moreover, the output of emerge -auND @world show that some NVIDIA-modules need to be compiled, whereas my system is AMD based. Even in the above listing you see a few nvidia-services.

This is a new (and my first Funtoo, while being a Gentoo veteran) install. I chose the 1.4-release-std gnome from the amd-zen tree. Booting to a command prompt (as root, for now) works perfectly, only firing up Gnome doesn't work. When entering startx (I have a correct .xinitrc) within seconds I am returned to the command prompt with no helpful message. The Xorg log file is attached. Anybody? Xorg.0.log
