After installing nvidia binary driver:

 Name           : nvidia
Version        : 313.26-2
URL            : http://www.nvidia.com/
Licenses       : custom
Groups         : None
Provides       : None
Depends On     : linux>=3.8  linux<3.9  nvidia-utils=313.26

i3 dont starts (I see only cursor and wallpaper). .xinitrc:

exec i3 --force-xinerama -V >> ~/.i3/i3log 2>&1

.i3log:

Maybe it is overkill but I put in .xinitrc and the config file and it seems to work fine.
