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.
