I’m not sure if xorg is the only thing at fault. I’ve had issues in opensuse and mint where if I force nouveau it kernel panics during boot. Otherwise it loads Nvidia.

I've created a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10nouveau.conf , which reads as above (apart from the "options" line, which is omitted) ; I use spaces, not tabs. I've tried all 4 permutations of "Card1" / "Card0" & "modesetting" / "nouveau". I also tried naming it '99...' : there's a '20opengl.conf', which says : Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" EndSection I've also recompiled xorg-drivers , then xorg-server : the former now has the USE flag 'nouveau'. I've rebooted between trials. Every time, Nvidia starts : (**) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules" (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices. devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.
