Nvidia, voidlinux, sddm.

It doesn't get past plymouth (I can still get to the console with ctrl alt functionthing ofc)

I've tried setting the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 (i did xbps-reconfigure -fa after that) in console thing in /etc/default/grub. I've enabled elogind as a service. I obviously did

/etc/sddm.conf.d/rootless-x11.conf
[General]
DisplayServer=x11-user

sddm doesn't work after that until i change x11-user for x11. I also did

/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
needs_root_rights = no
allowed_users=anybody

But that one doesn't really seem to change much. I also removed the execs from some part of the xinit ig.

sorry for answering 4 days later. Idk, it says sddm supports rootless xorg, also gdm supports it by defualt sometimes ig? (lightsm doesn't support rootless xorg)

It says that when I try to start it from the console with the file that sets the thing to x11-user otherwise o don't remember what it says probably just that I need root to run it.
