Unable to start LXDE with startx neither startlxde

Hello. New here.
After installing Arch without Windows Managers and functioning correctly, I tried to install LXDE for the performance of this one.
Well, I installed the group of packages, and when I exec startx or startlxde it puts me this screen:

I tried reconfiguring X with Xorg -configure and downloadin hdw without exit.
The screen hangs. I can't even open another TTY via CTRL ALT F2, etc. It hangs out completely.

I need help here, I wanna use that Desktop Manager so bad.
Oh, and another aclaration: I installed XFCE4 too and hangs out exactly the same tipping startxfce4.

Please help me.

Thanks a lot .

I should add that I have a Asus EEE 1000H Netbook with 1024x600 resolution.
Everything seems to work fine except the Windows Managers startup.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXD … he_Desktop might help, specifically xinit /usr/bin/startlxde or xinit /usr/bin/ck-launch-session startlxde respectively

EDIT:
Ooops, on wrong track - X obviously is starting so xorg is the likely culprit

Have you tried without an xorg.conf file? I'll assume that you installed the xf86-video-intel driver. Seems definitely to be a problem with the Xorg configuration. So, you might want to glance at the Xorg config file here to make sure you're not doing anything wrong:
