Uninstall it and get X working before you add more complexity. Post your xorg log if it doesn't work.

Re: [SOLVED]problem with lightdm

How exactly did you "install Optimus"? post every configuration and package adjusted resp. installed as part of this.

Re: [SOLVED]problem with lightdm

Why did you run nvidia-xconfig instead of using the template on NVIDIA_Optimus?

optimus wiki says that i have to install the nvidia. and the nvidia wiki says for generating the conf use the nvidia-xconfing

Re: [SOLVED]problem with lightdm

Please replace xorg.conf with one based on the NVIDIA_Optimus wiki page template so that it does not include sections telling X that you have a screen attached directly to the Nvidia GPU.
