If I start x or gdm I get black screen and cant return even to tty, yet it is working because I can reboot.
Info: Dualboot Arch and Lion, Grub2 efi x64, nvidia driver.

May be I can post some logs, just tell me what is relevant in this situation?

What is the output of
grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
If this is a video driver problem, the following wiki pages should be helpful:

What driver have you installed?

Have you tried logging in blindly and starting X. Happens to me every n-th reboot that I get a blank screen. But I can login and startx, and once X is running, I get a picture as well.

nouveau outputs "glitches" that makes output totally unreadable(tty), nvidia is working well with tty but it outputs blank screen if I do "startx" or "gdm".

Well the problem that in my case it turns black when I do "startx". Whill try nvidia-bl btw...
