Strange LXDM login behavior

Hello,

I am new to Arch and to Linux in general as well.

After I installed the system I encountered some login troubles with LXDM. When I boot the system and try to enter username and pwd on the login screen nothing happens. Just the same login screen but without any boxes for entering uname/pwd on it. But if then I perform next actions:

1) press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open console
2) press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to return to LXDM
3) press any key

LXDE emerges normally.

I tried to find a solution but could not find one. Could you please help me to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

I couldn't find anything helpful neither on Arch wiki nor on LXDE wiki.

Btw, Slim works fine.

I wouldn't bet on that. Read the red box at the top of the page:
