I'm new to Arch - and I love it! Fastest non-out-of-the-box distro I've used yet. Coming from Gentoo, I find a lot to appreciate.
Anyway, I've got a laptop set up with Arch and LXDE/SLiM. Xscreensaver seems to crash LXDE, logging me out and returning me to slim. What should I look for to troubleshoot? The last two times I tried to open xscreensaver-demo (which showed up in the preferences section of the LXDE menu), LXDE instantly crashed and returned me to slim. So I'm pretty sure it's xscreensaver - probably a specific module.
EDIT:
Changed topic title. I think Xorg itself is finding something it doesn't like. I just tried running a game (gzdoom) and it crashes in exactly the same way I described above. Maybe something with glx?
Ah... tried to run glxinfo and got "unable to open display". If Xorg is running, I get kicked back to slim. I can only see this error if I switch to a VT. I think if I can solve this, I've solved it all.

what about your Xorg log? that would give you an idea of any errors.
