[SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
Hello,
In the process of setting up Arch on my parents desktop PC...
When attempting to run gmome-session:
(gnome-session:3587): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(gnome-session:3587): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I am currently attempting to use the VGA graphics driver as the one for the integrated graphics card (VIA) doesn't work at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
It looks like you need to set up your locale:

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
I have already done that and the locale has been set.

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
OK, managed to sort the locale part however the following still remains:

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
Looks like X isn't running. How are you starting gnome-session?

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
For the record - the PC is using "VIA - Display - VIA Chrome9 HC IGP Family WDDM" according to Vista. I'm having difficulty getting the xf86-video-via driver working. It seems that Xorg -configure isn't detecting any settings.

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
I was using "gnome-session". startx works although the graphics are rather funky to say the least.

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
OK, managed to get the openchrome driver working. However the cursor is being displayed as a strange square shaped graphical blob. Also when moving it off the bottom of the screen the entire screen goes crazy. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk-WARNING
Solved it...had to do some more tweaking to the Xorg config file.
