X starts fine now, but craters on ~/.xinitrc complaints. See updated Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf at: http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/download/linux/distributions/archlinux/xorg.conf http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/download/linux/distributions/archlinux/Xorg.0.log So I'm down to just getting ~/.xinitrc straightened out. Ultimately I would like to get either kdm3 or xdm login configured for runlevel 5, but right now, I just want to get kde up and running and configured with compiz installed. Though I was never much for "eye-candy", I am hooked on compiz. There is no equal for making multiple desktops and multiple windows really intuitive -- at least to me. The "expo" (mouse top left) and "scale" (mouse top right) plugins are great, and the ctrl+alt+shift [<- | ->] for manging windows just click for me. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
