[SOLVED] X server doesn't start correctly: Connection to X server lost

I was trying to configure wine on my x64 system and suddenly X shutted down. There is nothing helpful in xinit output, only line "xinit: connection to X server lost". I've got nVidia GeForce 9800 GT, and i'm using nvidia driver. I tried using nouveau, nv and completely reinstalling system from scratch, but nothing helped, I still get the same error.
Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/297106/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/297107/
Please, help.

Already tried without any xorg.conf? X should configure itself which tends to work perfectly with newer versions, at least most of the time.

Here is xorg.log when starting with xorg.conf.d directory empty : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/297322/
Everything the same.

Re: [SOLVED] X server doesn't start correctly: Connection to X server lost

Is there something I can do to better understand the problem and fix it?
I am sure that everything is fine with video card, because Xorg 1.9.0 runs fine on ubuntu liveUSB.
Should I use gdb, or is there something simpler that can be done?

Re: [SOLVED] X server doesn't start correctly: Connection to X server lost

After some experimentation I've found that I can start X as root.

Here is Xorg.log as i run X as root: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/299430/
And here is Xorg.log as i run X as normal user: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/299431/

The only difference that i can see is "Power Button: Close" when running as normal user. I think that there could be some relation to recent udev update.
Any ideas?

Thanks to #archlinux the problem has been solved.
The original problem was with awesome. After udev update it stopped working. For debugging reasons i've commented all lines in .xinitrc, so there was nothing to lunch, and xorg had nothing to cling to. I was able to startx as root, because xorg read /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc instead of .xinitrc.

Re: [SOLVED] X server doesn't start correctly: Connection to X server lost

So how did you fix it in the end? I have the same problem on a newly installed machine using Gnome. I can start X as root, but not as normal user.

Edit: Never mind, it was a gnome-session problem. It wasn't started correctly, so X simply quit without an error (as there was none).

Re: [SOLVED] X server doesn't start correctly: Connection to X server lost

I've had the same problem. The solution for me was to add exec fluxbox so that the xorg server would execute some X manager. Other way, it would just end and won't start any X manager.
