Graphical interface not loading

Hello,
I've installed archlinux last week, and I have a (little) problem: xfce is not starting when I do "startxfce4" and have run "nvidia-xconfig" but is working perfectly (but on CPU instead of GPU) when I delete "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
I have a nvidia gtx 960M and an intel core i7
here my Xorg.0.log:

Re: Graphical interface not loading

1) Don't use startxfce4 directly, use startx and .xinitrc
2) Don't use nvidia-xconfig

Is this an Optimus setup? Have you read the Optimus wiki page?
