startxfce4 and startx both give me a black screen (arch linux)

Basically what the title says. I installed arch linux to dual boot alongside windows 10 64-bit UEFI, and it's been going smoothly up to getting X/XFCE4 to work.

Here's the Xorg.0.log log file if anyone could help me out.

Thanks!
Did you install your graphic drivers?
Most likely going to have to install the non free drivers.

I have nvidia drivers installed (I'm using a laptop). I heard somewhere that I need to install bumblebee too?

I believe bumblebee just deals with power management with switching between the card and onboard graphics.
Bumblebee and installing intel drivers did the trick, XFCE is up and running.
