Than wasn't the case too, I do use startxfce4 but no success.
I notice that when I do X -configure, it creates xorg.conf.new
with 2 Screens and 2 graphic cards, where first one uses intel
and second one uses vesa driver. I don't have external
monitor to check DisplayPort output on my laptop.

moused, hald and dbus are rcenabled.

Nothing interesting in logs too.

Thanks,
