[SOLVED] Can't reach graphical target

Hi everyone,

I freshly installed Arch today and ran into problems after rebooting.

My machine is a Clevo N850HJ Laptop with an Intel i7-7700HQ and a Nvidia GTX 1050.
I installed XOrg, nvidia-xrun, SDDM and KDE Plasma.

At first it would freeze completely after "Reached target Graphical interface".
I then added "nomodeset" to my GRUB entry and removed "quiet".
Now I can atleast interact with the system. The cursor keeps blinking and I can switch to tty2.

When I try

startx startkde

it freezes again without producing any logs.

Did I forget to configure something?
Are there currently any known problems with any packages? (I experienced something similar with my old installation after upgrading - hence the reinstall)
What else could cause this?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't reach graphical target

startx startkde

try with only

startxkde

For xorg-xinit ...   
This default xinitrc will start a basic environment with Twm, xorg-xclock and Xterm (assuming that the necessary packages are installed). Therefore, to start a different window manager or desktop environment, first create a copy of the default xinitrc in your home directory:

cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc

then add this to bottom of recently copied ~/.xinitrc

exec startkde

regards

EDIT: Disregard only just noticed thanks to a freindly MOD it was hybrid graphics
Sorry for noise

Sorry for not reading the rules before posting.

Anyways, X seemed to be misconfigured.
I reinstalled and everything worked on the first try.
