and as I know - that all compiled fine.
As I know, on modern systems I dont have to add any config files and so on. I just do "startx".
So I get error

Modern or not, Xorg isn't perfect with working AutoDetect with various hardware, and never will be thanks to the vendors of graphics cards which never all seem to follow manufacturer specs. It does often require /etc/X11/xorg.conf to be properly configured to work.
A lot of people will all tout that you don't need this and that and autoconfig works wonders... Well blah blah blah... whatever.
Use configuration files always. It's just common sense.
You're not getting any screens because AutoDetect is trying to configure multiple DVI, VGA, HDMI, and DisplayPort adapters all at once as the main display, and that won't work .
Next, run the command in the Xorg setup and configuration stickied topic, check the xorg.conf.new file in ~/ and edit it to fit your driver needs. It should setup for driver "nouveau" and no additional options.
Do not enable "glamor" acceleration, as it still doesn't work completely. Use "exa" instead.
Check the Screens section at the bottom next and only setup one screen if multiples exist.
Make sure you also have installed the drivers for "fbdev" as well. Driver "modesetting" should have been installed with xorg-xserver.
Now copy the xorg.conf.new as xorg.conf to /etc/X11 and try startx again.

No xorg.conf.new file was created.
Is there any chance I did something wrong when I was building all from source? Should I rebuild whole chapter?
