Problems starting X

I decided to install Arch on my main machine. Pacman'd xorg and hwd (and ran hwd -s) but I'm having a problem starting x now. My xinitrc seems to be okay with an echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc thrown in for good measure.

The problem seems to be numerous font renderers? I'm getting errors for about 8-9 font renderers already configured somewhere else or something to that effect? Does anybody have any suggestions at all what to do with this?

Re: Problems starting X

Did you do:
pacman -Syu after install?  If not, give that a shot.
