Out of consideration for readers uninterested in helping me solve this
problem, I've put all my "documentation" in an attached file.  I think
members interested in helping can pull that out easily enough--if not I
can just blast it out here in another posting.  Much of it may not be
that helpful, but in case it is, I included everything I thought might
be wanted.

Quick review:  I've just built X for BLFS-7.10.  Testing X fails to
start.  (I really don't care at this point whether it uses the VESA or
Nouveau drivers.  Using "nomodset" in the kernel command line let's me
try both ways.  Both fail.)  This seems to be the problem, but I don't
understand why--X is supposed to pretty much autoconfigure:

[    33.825] (II) [drm] nouveau interface version: 1.3.1
[    33.825] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config
section.
[    33.825] (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau"
[    33.825] (EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config
file.

I add package management around the outside, but I do try to FBBG!  Can
anybody help identify what is wrong, where I need to look?

Try removing all the files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and adding:

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier "nvidia"
        Driver "nouveau"
        Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection
