Problem with xfce and/or mouse and keyboard

Hi!

Two days ago I've turned on my laptop with Arch and the display manager Slim has frozen immediately. Later on Single-User mode I've uninstalled it. Now in normal mode when I type "startxfce4" everything is showing up, but the mouse and keyboard don't work. I know it's not frozen, because animation of mouse and CPU Frequency Monitor is on.
Strange fact is that laptop is not connecting with the Internet, so now I don't know where the problem is.
It's happening when I start xfce both from user and super user.

Just before those troubles I've updated everything with "pacman -Syu", but I haven't seen anything strange. Also the computer could have been roughly turned off (by unplugging power supply), when was turning on.

Thanks,
Gaba

Can you try usb mouse and keyboard?
Does CtrlAltF3 do something?
To 'force' power off the computer just hold down power button for 5-10 seconds.

I have tried usb mouse and still couldn't move it
Ctrl+Alt+F3 do nothing
I know I wrote about it just because I wonder if it could mess up something

On grub menu, select 'recovery mode' and take a look at journalctl

Sorry for not replying, but I didn't have access to my laptop by this time.
On grub I have only normal mode and 'fallback' mode, so I have result from 'journalctl' from normal mode.
I'm sending the fragment of this file where you can see everything after I typed 'startxfce4' in console:

I see that something is wrong, but after some attempts I don't know how to fix this ^^

Edit:
Oh, I forgot to write, that I've tried activate some drivers from 'lspci -k' (there were no "Kernel driver in use:..." in almost every device), but it didn't fi anything.
