Starting X without display manager

I installed Arch with KDE Plasma. I want to start KDE without a display manager and configured files by following the instructions from KDE - ArchWiki, but after configuring all that when I reboot it shows an error and I am back to tty1 with login screen.

My .xinitrc file

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
export DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma
exec startplasma-x11

My .xserverrc file:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" vt$XDG_VTNR`

My .bash_profile:

#
# ~/.bash_profile
#

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
if [ -z "${DISPLAY}" ] && [ "${XDG_VTNR}" -eq 1 ]; then
   exec startx
 fi

All these files are in /home/user .

The error tells you what's wrong:

Fatal server error:(EE) Unrecognised option: Vt1

Most things in Unix are case sensitive, in this case, you need to change your .xserverrc file to use the option vt (instead of Vt, note the lowercase v).

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" vt$XDG_VTNR`
