Following the latest update on my Devuan box I have lost the Xserver.

The box boots normally then instead of a log in screen it is just black. 

Pressing Alt Ctrl F1 gets me to a terminal where i can log in.
ps -A | grep shows that slim and Xorg are running. Xorg on tty7. 
Pressing alt ctrl F7 turn the cursor off in tty1 but does nothing else.

I am using the nouveau drivers. 
dmesg seems to show them loaded.
I have run apt purge nvidia* just to be sure they are not installed.
nothing is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/
xorg.conf refers to nouveau
modprobe shows the nouveau drivers loaded.
Any ideas on where to go from here?
