LXDE stopped working after updates

after farting around a while in LXDE trying to fix the dpi I decided to do a pacman -Syu everything thing went smoothly except after I rebooted I can no longer log into LXDE it instantly crashes and brings me back to GDM log in screen..... in conjunction I also have gnome installed.

please help.. gnome runs like crap at 1920x1080 res and I really want to use LXDE

Try deleting settings. I think LXDE settings are in ~/.config

Re: LXDE stopped working after updates

I was able to boot to console then start lxde manually.. I don't mind doing this butmy dpi is still set to 305! I tried fixing this from other forums but the xorg config totally changed and nothing is working... Im using my 32" 1080p tv and the res is fine but the dpi is all messed up..

Thanks

Re: LXDE stopped working after updates

ok well i created an xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure but it gave me an error that didnt have any effect on the file.. .. so I edited it
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    DisplaySize 286 179    # In millimeters
EndSection

this made my DPI 96 which is better but my tv is up high I like 120-150 DPI and still cant change it.
