Archiso troubles with startx on boot

hi to everyone, since the last updates i'm getting troubles with archiso to start X on boot. Before all was working fine and without any problem, something has changed on scripts and needs to be done in a different way???
Now when i try to startx on boot is not possible. I write down my configuration, maybe someone knows how to solve it.

customize_airootfs:
-systemctl enable sddm ( my display manager )
-systemctl set-default graphical.target

iso user configurations:

- ~/.xinitrc -> exec startkde
- ~/.bash_profile -> i added the following to the default : exec startx

Not a Programming issue, moving to NC...

So are you starting X via startx in the bash_profile or via sddm? Do you have an autologin set up for the user whose bash_profile you added that to?

now that i had that problems, im trying both. I have and autologin in sddm for the liveuser and in bash_profile i just have the following:

#
# ~/.bash_profile
#

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

if [[ ! $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]]; then
exec startx
fi

"exec startkde" is not a sane xinitrc, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinit#xinitrc and pay attention to the second note box.

Overmore you've provided no usable failure data (Xorg log, error messages on the console, …) - "It does not work" is because "you're doing it wrongly", there could be a gazillion of issues from kernel updates to package splits, so for an informed comment, you'll have to post logs and error messages.
