Command startX won't work after using xrandr --setprovideroutputsource

Hello,
Just today I installed Arch for the first time (so it's safe to say I'm more than a newbie).
My amd drivers were working as expected.
Howiever, I wanted a hybrid amd/intel setup so I tried using arch PRIME. I messed around with the commands there (I know I shouldn't have) and when I typed in

 xrandr --setprovideroutputsource radeon Intel 

I was dropped to a terminal.
Since then I cannot use startX because it says "no screens found".
When I try to use xrandr with ANY option, it simply says "Can't open display".
I tried re-installing xorg as well as the amd drivers, but I had no luck.

My setup:
GPU1: AMD TAHITI R9 280
GPU2: Intergrated intel HD
CPU: Intel i5 4670

Thank you very much in advance

xrandr commands are not persistent, something else must have gone wrong.

Rename/move any *.conf files in /etc/X11/ & /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folders, then try again.

If that fails also, post xorg log file (it will be in /var/log/ or ~/.local/share/xorg/ ) .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.


(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)
