X not working on GTX 1080

After installing 11.2 and following the handbook for installation and configuration step by step to the letter, installed X, nvidia driver, gnome, enabled all gnome services, gdm, rebooted, it boots text mode, tries to start X and fails with :

Unable to start in frambuffer mode. Please specify Bus ID. or something like that.

Ryzen 5 2600x, GTX 1080 via Displayport.
 
so i managed to isolate the X issue to gnome only: gdm wont start after boot with the following error in gdm log : Unable to initialize clutter, no available drivers found. tested with xfce4-session and the desktop loads fine but the mouse doesnt work.
 
The moused_enable is only required for PS/2 mice. USB mice load it automatically through devd(8).

Post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to Pastebin (or a similar service).
