Install xorg on a ASUS AllInOne E2300INTI

Hi all !

After i have install an Archlinux (base), i try to install and configure Xorg.

Infos :

# lspci|grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1)

# pacman -Qe|grep -i xorg
xorg-server 1.14.4-1
xorg-server-utils 7.6-3
xorg-utils 7.6-8
xorg-xinit 1.3.3-2
xorg-xkill 1.0.4-1

# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf 
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier             "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "nouveau"
    BusID  "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier             "Screen0"
    Device                 "Device0"
    Monitor                "Monitor0"
EndSection

As you can see, there are two VGA PCI cards. I configure Xorg for use the nvidia card.
When i start Xorg "startx", nothing is display.
But, the X process is running :

# ps aux
...
root       423  0.0  0.0  13992  1768 tty1     S+   18:58   0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/startx

root       447  0.2  0.1  73944  7060 tty1     S    18:58   0:00 xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51

...

And i see in the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" :

...

...

What's wrong with my config ?
Why Xorg doesn't take the PCI card which is define in my Xorg configuration ?

Thanks for your help.

Post your .xinitrc.I see you're not using any.

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

The wiki says it should be

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Screen0"

instead of

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xo … phics_card
but I'm not sure about it.
