Xorg says "(EE) no screens found (EE)"
 

I just installed Alpine Linux, did 'setup-xorg-base', which installs the base Xorg packages, also installed xinit and openbox. After adjusting my .xinitrc file properly, I ran xinit, and startx just to make sure.

Instead of launching Openbox, xinit gives me some output along with the titular error. All the rest of the input is just telling me to go to the wiki, no diagnostics or anything.

According to neofetch, my laptop model is an "HP 255 G6 Notebook PC" and my GPU is an "AMD ATI Radeon R2/R3/R4/R5 Graphics".

Some definitive hardware details (and any drivers loaded) would be good
Code:
/sbin/lspci -nnk|egrep -iA3 "VGA|graphics"
The Xorg log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) could also be helpful here.

Sorry for my late reply! What's a way for me to get output from the TTY onto the internet?

One approach is to redirect the output to a text file, and copy the text file to a USB memory stick so that you are then able to share that via an internet-connected machine.
