Can't connect to X Server

We wanted to install XFCE4 after installing XORG. But the X server won't start, startx gives the error "can't connect to X Server, connection refused."

What might be the problem here?

It is an AMD system and a Nvidia graphic card

Re: Can't connect to X Server

What are you trying to start? Post your ~/.xinitrc and read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinit#xinitrc

Also post

lspci -k
dmesg

in [ code ] tags.

Which instructions are you following to install Arch?
