Unable start KDE in a new ArchLinux Installation

Hi All,
      This is my first install.  I am trying ArchLinux on a virtualbox.  I followed the newbie installation guide and installed KDE.  When I try to start KDE using kdm or startx (.xinitrc) , I am getting the following error.   Any help is appreciated.

My Host OS:  Slackware 13.1 x86
VitualBox:  4.0.2
ArchLinux:   latest i686 version.

please use [code ] [/code ] tags around any file or output that you paste (without the spaces). Makes it easier to read.

Did you install hal? Make sure that you have it, then make sure that both hal and dbus are listed under "Daemons" in /etc/rc.conf.

This advice will actually be obsolete come this time tomorrow, as KDE 4.6 no longer uses hal.  You could try it out for troubleshooting; just remember to remove hal after the 4.6 upgrade.

You may still need hal; some programs still depend on it.

Re: Unable start KDE in a new ArchLinux Installation

Maybe you should try another way of starting it? Either adding kdm in your daemons list or even better editing your inittab.

Whatever I do, I always end up with something horribly mis-configured.
