Check your Xorg.0.log, it should tell you what driver it is loading and might hint at why it's not using nouveau.
Found something very odd when trying to do this. When I boot the
older kernel, the one that works, Xorg doesn't appear to write the
log file. The log file contains the kernel version number and
it's never the older one. I'd meant to compare the two to see
where they differ.
However, on reading through the log file from when it fails, I
see that it's getting an error about not being able to open
/dev/dri/card0. And, indeed, the directory /dev/dri is missing.
When I boot the older kernel (5.5.0-2), that directory and file
are there and everything works.
So what creates this device and what might have changed that it's no longer being generated?
Thanks,
Dave
