Hi all! I am a total beginner to arch linux, and as a result I am squinting to read the default font until I learn how to change it. Now to the task at hand:
Awesome is my wm, and as root xinit loads into it perfectly, however, when I try xinit as a non-root user, x loads as one white terminal in the top left of the screen, and does not accept any input from my mouse or keyboard and I have to physically power down the machine.
The non-root user in question is included in the following groups: lp wheel games video audio optical floppy storage power users
Any tips on where to look would be greatly appreciated!

Do you start it with startx or a login manager?
If startx, do you have a configurated .xinitrc in the users home file?

Different users load different .xinitrc files after startx. edit your non-root user's .xinitrc the way you want it, then try it again The non-root user's .xinitrc is in home/<username>.
Sex is not the answer.
Sex is the question, and Yes is the answer.
