Menu
I installed an Archlinux distribution, and I am trying to install xOrg. I installed xorg-server xorg-xinit and xorg-server-utils. I also installed xf86-video-nouveau because I have a 960M from Nvidia.
To test it :
echo "xterm && sleep 10" > .xinitrc
And I run startx. I got this message
Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections
And after 2-3 minutes, I got :
Unable to connect to X server: connection refused.
Why the connection is refused ?
Thanks for help !

Immediately turn off your monitor or terminate X by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. To exit X, click on an unused part of the desktop and a pop-up menu will appear. From the menu, select the Exit, Logout, or Quit menu item. X shuts down, returning you to the familiar text-based interface of the Linux shell prompt.
o “X uses a client–server model: an X server communicates with various client programs. The server accepts requests for graphical output (windows) and sends back user input (from keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen).
I never answered. But I finally managed to get it working.
I was able to run it by blacklisting nouveau drivers.
To test, at grub boot, press e on the line of your linux distribution.
You should see something like:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-33-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=32290445-e978-4a43-b6d9-27f9e943b3a6 ro quiet nouveau.modeset=0 splash $vt_handoff
Just add nouveau.modeset=0 between quietand splash (pretty sure it's the same as if you write it down at the end of the line but I am 100% sure it's working the way I did).
Press F10 to boot with this configuration. It should work.
Hope it helps.
