[SOLVED] Cannot get Xorg to begin. Drivers seem to be working.

Hi, I'm new to arch and I've installed xorg-server , xorg-apps, xorg, xterm, xinit and the packages needed to begin xorg
I've also installed the correct drivers for my NVIDIA Geforce 950 card, being the nvidia-340xx drivers
When launching command startx, I get:

 Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: connection refused
xinit: server error

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot get Xorg to begin. Drivers seem to be working.

What's in your xinitrc?

# edit: and your conf file, which presumably your generated with nvidia-xconfig?

Remove the config: xconfig just breaks things, you don't need it.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot get Xorg to begin. Drivers seem to be working.

Your system contains a hybrid graphics configuration that breaks with any configuration generated by nvidia-xconfig.
If you want to just use the intel GPU then remove Xorg.conf and see if that works.  If you want to use the nvidia GPU follow NVIDIA_Optimus or Bumblebee.

Done, rebooted, same error message.

Should I uninstall my nvidia-340xx drivers then?
Also, the wiki pages for these say these are for laptops, not desktops if that makes any difference.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot get Xorg to begin. Drivers seem to be working.

Also which GPU is the display connected to?  Why are you using nvidia-340xx with a 900 series card?  NVIDIA Did the nvidia kernel module fail to load as unsupported in dmesg?
If the intel GPU is connected to the display and that is what you want to use then you will need an xorg.conf snippet with the busID of that GPU.
Edit:
See Intel_graphics#Xorg_configuration but with a line added for busID.

The display is connected to my Nvidia card. That's what I read on the wiki, perhaps I read it wrong, should I install the "nvidia" drivers? And sorry, I'm not sure how to check dmesg.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot get Xorg to begin. Drivers seem to be working.

To check dmesg literally run `dmesg`  Please check the output of dmesg for lines from the nvidia module.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot get Xorg to begin. Drivers seem to be working.

That confirms the nvidia-340xx is the wrong series for that card.  Please replace nvidia-340xx packages with their nvidia equivalents. (All will have the same name just without -340xx)
Edit:
Then reboot to ensure the kernel modules provided by the nvidia packages are loaded and try startx again if it still fails same routine post an updated Xorg.log.
