Hi. I use kdemod. I did a full update of my system a few weeks ago. I did not reboot after that. After a few days I boot to archlinux and then I find that it won't load kde with startx. I waited for a few more days and did another full update of arch because I thought maybe it would go away with the update. However, it did not. Whenever I type startx, all I get is a flash of dark screen with the small x pointer that supposed to look like when X is starting. But then it would revert to command line with the following error messages:
expected keysym, got Xf86KbdLightOnOff: line 70 of pc
expected keysym, gotXf86KbdBrightnessDown: line 71 of pc
expected keysym, got Xf86KbdBrightnessUp: line 72 of pc

Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/Type1, removing from list!
/home/djre/.xinitrc:line 10: exec: startkde: not found
waiting for X server to shutdown FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc" refcount is
2, should be 1 fixing
any idea what might have gone wrong? thanks in advance.

just like the error message says, you need to correct your .xinitrc file. line 10.

because startkde not in path
put there:
exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde

Because the kde.sh script in /etc/profile.d isn't sourced automatically any longer (chmod -x). That was needed because the new kdemod4 stuff installs similar files that conflict with normal kdemod. 'startkde' takes care of sourcing kde.sh now, but that means you'd have to call at least this one with the full path.
