[solved] Problems with running Xorg server

Hello,

I've got some problems with running Xorg.

I've installed archlinux-2014.06.01 under VirtualBox. I'm not able to run Xorg server as a common user.
When I type: xinit - the screen blanks for a while and then gets back to virtual terminal.
This is strange for me, because I can run xfce4 environment using: startxfce4.

Why it is possible to run Xorg with startxfce4 but not with xinit?

When I try to run Xorg as root - it is  working fine.

I attach /var/log/Xorg.o.log here:

Oooops, seems like I didn't notice that ~/.xinitrc doesn't have the proper contents. I remove this file and now everything is working fine. Sorry for the fuss.
