Xorg not working on fresh install

Depending on which boot variant you use, only one works.

VESA using BIOS/Legacy should work right away and to use scfb you need to install x11-drivers/xf86-video-scfb and then create an Xorg config file.

Example:

/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/scfb.conf
Code: 
Section "Device"

Identifier "Card0'

Driver "scfb"

End Section

BTW AmyAmyAmy your log says [ 186.511] (EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file, but for AMD & Intel you don't need to create an Xorg configuration file. Unless you have two graphic cards or an other unusual setup.
 
Thanks. I made scfb work. Turns out you need to install it first 😶‍🌫️
I run Xorg -config xorg.conf.new &
Yes!! Now it runs in the background.. BUT .. Of course we cannot expect to have startx or startkde or .xinitrc like we used to because if we did it won't be fun. We need to break things that work fine and we want to keep changing things every few years.

How do I run starplasma-x111 now that Xorg is running using scfb (not intel) in the background?
