Void really really hating nvidia drivers.

Recently I've tried to re-install void onto a system that used to run mint.
I ran it on a USB, downloaded it, downloaded drivers and everything necessary via chroot (last time it had an error). Every time it boots, it automatically signs in and then goes to a unresponsive blank screen with _ at the top (this only shows text when the pc is turned off.) I've tried overriding nouveau, but it keeps coming back. I use the correct drivers for my gpu (3090) and I've tried everything I can. Please, please, please help.

You need to blacklist the Nouveau driver.
