You have used proprietary driver from Nvidia. It is not included in the kernel. I think this is the reason for your problem with LXDE. The best way would be to use open source driver that is supported by the mainline kernel - nouveau (config option DRM_NOUVEAU). According to the nouveau site [1], your chip is supported. Try it. 1. https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/ -- Best regards, Andrey Skvortsov
