startx fails with new kernel

Thank for your email.

But could you tell me exactly what I should do?

I removed xorg-x11-drv-nouveau (and xorg-x11-drivers), but I did
not get any improvements (see below)

Then I even cannot get back with the 1920x1080 resolution even with
the previous kernel. So reinstalled the removed packages.

You have both nVidia binary blob driver and Nouveau driver installed at the 
same time. This is well-known to Not Work. Either remove the binary blob and 
let Nouveau drive your hardware, or remove nouveau and let the binary blob 
drive your hardware. The world is too small for both of them... ;-)

HTH, :-)
