Hey people.
After a fresh install, and installation of xorg, and nvidia driver I try to startx, but it hangs on "Loading extension GLX". I can't do anything, but change to tty2, and login in there.
Log from /var/log/Xorg.0.log here: http://codepad.org/UDtNqkLy
I've tried this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … IA_Optimus and this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … grated_GPU,
but neither have helped.
I've tried to follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xo … leshooting, but there isn't really anything applying to my problem.
I have tried both nvidia-xconfig, and with the minimal config file given in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … figuration
I have added MODULES="i915" to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to have the intel card (and /ect/vconsole.conf) load properly during boot, I don't know if that makes a difference.
I've also tried blacklisting that module, to make sure it wasn't that making the problem but that didn't work either.
Thanks
I'm marking this solved even though I never found out what the problem was. If someone come looking for a solution I suggest doinga reinstall.

xorg.conf is here: http://codepad.org/UfXJpBVg if it is needed

It seem that x is actually starting, and running and takes input, but just isn't being displayed on the screen.
I tried again and then typed "exit", and I came back to terminal.
I then tried again, and did "echo test > test", and then "exit", and the file was there.
So it seems that X i just not being displayed properly

I have an Nvidia optimus too. I know you said you already tried doing the wiki stuff, but if it's of any use it worked after I followed it. I didn't go the bumblebee way, I just uninstalled what I had from nvidia or nouveau since non of them worked, and just went with the intel drivers alone. So far it works but it's not very nice to be unable to use the nvidia gpu, the fan would probably come in handy to decrease the temperature a bit.

I actually tried that too with out any success.
In the end I did another reinstall, and followed the wiki again and triple checked everything, and it worked.
I have no idea what I did different, but I can now write this from laptop, and everything is ok.
