I'm building my first Arch box, and it's been a learning experience. I've had trouble getting asla and X11 to work, but I figured it out with some searching, it was fun! Now I'm really stuck though, I can't login through the Gnome/gdm login screen. I've set it up so I go directly into the login screen, btw. I see my user name in the list of users, but when I type in my password it tells me its incorrect. I thought that maybe I typed in a wrong password, but I can go into console mode and login just fine. Any suggestions? I hate posting in forms, when ever possible, but I just don't know what else to do.
Edit: I was able to go into /etc/gdm/custom.conf, using ubuntu, and edit it to log me in automaticly, but I don't like the idea of leaving my computer open to any one around the house.
Edit: I'm trying to use root, through the terminal inside gnome, but the password does not work.

maybe the language is wrong?
you can lock the screensaver as an alternative.

Nope, the language is good, US english. It seems to be a problem with X11, since I get the same results when trying to enter root from a terminal opened up in X11 only. Any other ideas?
Edit: Found this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209788
I'll be giving it a try when I get home.
Edit: Got home and read the page again. Figured out this is not what I am looking for, the post was about changing a password for root in the console with no GUI. It's sort of the opposite of what I'm looking for.
