[SOLVED] X won't start after downgrading xorg-server

After this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237045 infamous update my X server stopped working. After some monkeying around I found the above mentioned topic and downgraded xorg-server and xorg-server-common packages. However, my X server still won't start. Would could be the problem? Please, help, my system had worked for more than 3 years and I really don't want to reinstall.

The startx output:

Thanks! For anyone having a trouble like I did you need to uninstall nvidia and nvidia-utils and install nvidia-390xx.
