[SOLVED] Xorg will not start

Installed Arch Linux, replaced the nouveau driver with the nvidia-304xx drivers. After issuing startx, Gnome does not load. I get a brief flash of the nvidia logo, and then nothing. My results:

I am trying to get this to work as root, and then i will use a normal user.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg will not start

A simple Xorg log is never enough. Provide some conf files and information like: .xinitrc, GPU model, any /etc/X11/custom_modifications...

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg will not start

Are you starting anything in your X? The last line of the log suggests you're not, so X launches and then terminates successfully.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg will not start

Thank you for all the pointers!
Here are my results:

[root@localhost ~]# cat .xinitrc 
exec startlxde
[root@localhost ~]# vi .xinitrc
[root@localhost ~]# cat .xinitrc 
exec gnome-session
[root@localhost ~]# 

I had installed LXDE earlier, couldn't configure the font DPI, so i tried GNOME, but forgot to change .xinitrc
Thank you !
