Org server is handled by Xwayland on systems running the Wayland protocol. This page provides useful information but the Xorg guide details the installation of Xorg in a more convenient manner. Installing xorg-server is much lighter than emerging the entire xorg package, and has all the necessary components to have a fully functional GUI such as plasma for example.

Portage knows the X USE flag for enabling support for X in other packages default in all desktop profiles. It is recommended to issue the --verbose option when emerging xorg-server because xorg-drivers or mesa may be pulled in as dependencies if they are not already installed.

Using --verbose will show more information on USE flags and dependencies before package installation. It is a best practice to allow them to be merged into the system as dependencies by setting USE flags or using a graphical profile. Issue the command emerge --search mesa to see if mesa is already installed prior to emerging. Install xrandr emerge xrandr just long enough to get this information.

Congratulations, you now hopefully have a working Xorg!
