XFCE Crash/No Input

I've got an issue where XFCE just doesn't start, I've tried using xinit as well, and it doesn't show any errors.
I use a bit of an odd setup, a laptop with the screen completely removed (nothing is plugged into the LVDS port)
lspci -vnn:

Xorg.0.log
http://paste.debian.net/1096656/

GNOME works fine.

Re: XFCE Crash/No Input

I've given up on running XFCE, I'm just going to continue using GNOME. If the mods wish they may close this thread.

Re: XFCE Crash/No Input

You have to configure an Optimus setup properly before you can actually run x sessions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus gnome works because you are running a wayland session on the intel card and you aren't using the nvidia gpu in any shape or form

Re: XFCE Crash/No Input

But I am running on the nvidia card with X11.

[REDACTED]$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11

[REDACTED]$ glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2

Re: XFCE Crash/No Input

Regardless, it doesn't matter, because I installed cinnamon, and the issue I was having went away. Thank you for trying when no one else would.
