While booting funtoo linux, loading custom binary format stays in the handlers section

Question

Hello, I installed funtoo linux but I have a problem, I cannot boot the system normally. it stays in the title section while the system is booting. I was able to boot the system as nomodeset. My graphics card is gt420. The system came with the nvidia-settings application installed, it opens, but when I open it from the terminal, the application opens again, but it gives an error that the nvidia driver is not loaded etc. I think this is related to nomodeset, but I think it's also related to the system not booting normally. Because it comes with open source drivers installed. Thanks in advance.

Running nouveau requires deleting etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf

If you choose to go with proprietary driver mixin profile gfxcard-nvidia-legacy should support your GT-420

You would have to manually blacklist nouveau again to try out nvidia-390

@shaw4543 yes, the proprietary nvidia drivers are active by default. If you want to use nouveau, you need to remove the blacklist. 

However, you may have simply worked around the original problem, as the nvidia drivers should have worked -- unless you have an older card that is no longer supported.
