Hello to everybody.
I have just installed ARCH on my laptop (with separate partitions for root and home) following the Beginner's Guide.
I have installed xorg-server, xorg-server-utils, xorg-xinit as well as xorg-twm,xorg-clock and x-term.
I have also installed xf86-video-vesa and xf86-video-nouveau.
But when i have startx running it fails (reporting this: xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused).
Here is Xorg.0.log

Also, I suppose this has nothing to do with the xorg problem.
Could somebody help me with this, please?

Use [code]output[/code] tags to mark output of a command. Please edit your post. It seems there are already similar issues on the forums.

Ok, I fixed the issue with the tags.
Please forgive me, I have already made a research in the forum and there are indeed similar issues but I just could not find a solution.

I don't think this is an Optimus machine, the components are too old. Is it a Sony laptop? Because things look very similar to this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185894

Ok, I have installed xf86-video-intel driver and xorg finally works (I am posting this through ARCH).
So it seems that the problem was with the xf86-nvidia-nouveau driver.
I am just wondering why xorg didn't use the xf86-video-vesa driver as it should do.
That's right Gusar, it is a Sony laptop.
I am really sorry for the waste of your time but I am deeply respectful for your fast answers.
Many regards, Liofter.
Edit: ARCH is beautiful

Try what I proposed in the other thread, blacklist the 915 module and reboot, see if nouveau will work then (do not use nomodeset, it will disable nouveau as well).

Gusar, sorry for my newbie question but how do I blacklist the 915 module?
(I have to leave now, I' ll be in touch tomorrow)

Well, I did as Gusar said, blacklisted the i915 module, then added the .conf file to the FILES section in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and had the initramfs rebuilt.
I did a reboot and after the login nothing but a black screen appeared.
I don't know if I could do something else.
I think I will just uninstall xf86-video-nouveau (hope there is no problem with that), afterall there is no special need for using it, since intel driver is working.
