Xorg freeze

denvicar · 2015-11-18 13:50:08

I just installed Arch on my laptop and managed to also install xorg-server. However after running "Xorg" I get a balck screen with a non-blinking cursor and I can't do literally anything, I have to shutdown it forcefully by holding the power button...
Help me please!
This is the log I parsed for "ee" or "ww" entries:

Why are you running "Xorg"?

Read the wiki.

I get the same problem, if I run startx or xinit it tells me that I don't have xterm, I installed it and xorg freezes again

Okay, please post the full X log and share more information about your set up. I see you have an nvidia card, which one? Are you using the correct driver for it? Is your laptop one which has both intel and nvidia graphics?

The output of

systemctl status systemd-logind

may be useful too.

I have both an nvidia (GeForce GT 540M with nvidia drivers) and an intel integrated gpu (xf86 intel drivers).
Xorg log, it's very long

I think I solved it. For anyone interested: I blacklisted nouveau and nvidia drivers, deleted xorg.conf, rebooted and regenerated it. Now it seems to work.
