display managers

hi guys. i was using gnome so far and i wanted to switch to window managers like awesome, fluxbox etc. so everything is was cool with gdm and gnome. but i can't login another session with gdm after removing gnome. i removed gdm and gnome, tried lxdm, lightdm, sddm, no chance. this is my xorg log from last boot. .xinitrc also not working if there's no xrandr --auto in it. so i thought it's something with the display with xorg but i don't know where to look at. i'm not using any xorg.conf by the way. any suggestions?

How are you starting X? Please paste your .xinitrc.

i am first logging in with tty and then startx from tty.

[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
udiskie -2 -s &
~/.fehbg
xrandr --auto


exec awesome

Read this, and fix your xinitrc: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinit

As written, you never reach the last line of the file. the three programs (lines 2 through 4) never exit. Background them.
