[SOLVED] fresh install - GDM/Gnome black screen

problem solved, topic can be deleted/moderated sorry --"

Hello,
I just installed archlinux following the wiki installation guide.
I'm running a msi laptop with a GTX960 gpu, so I have installed nvidia drivers.
I want to use gdm and gnome, but after installing them, I face a strange situation :

I can run 'startx', which will start a basic environment (a few xterm consoles and a xclock on top right corner, default .xinitrc file).
I can run 'systemctl start gdm' which will start gdm correctly, asking for me to log in.
I can run 'xinit gnome-session' which will launch gnome, and I can use it correctly.

But, if I run gdm3 and log me in, it doesn't start gnome and just keep displaying a black screen.

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (built following the wiki page about optimus) :

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier "layout"
	Screen 1 "nvidia"
	Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier "nvidia"
	Driver "nvidia"
	BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "nvidia"
	Device "nvidia"
	Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "Yes"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier "intel"
	Driver "modesetting"
	BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
	Option "AccelMethod" "none"
	Option "DRI" "false"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
	Identifier "intel"
	Device "intel"
EndSection
	
#Section "Module"
#	Load "modesetting"
#EndSection

#Section "Device"
#	Identifier "nvidia"
#	Driver "nvidia"
#	BusId "PCI:1:0:0"
#	Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
#EndSection

and here is my gdm customconf file (I just disabled wayland):

# GDM configuration storage

[daemon]
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

[security]

[xdmcp]

[chooser]

[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
#Enable=true

I may forgot something about xinit scripts ?
I ask for help about this issue, everything looks working fine taken independently, but not together

Thanks by advance !
