Hey all, running through the Beginners guide of the wiki, and I'm getting an issue when I test X.
When I run:
X -config /root/xorg.conf
I get the nice little X cursor, and while it's nice to look at, I have to believe that there is more that X can offer me.
The issue begins when I do:
xterm
This gives me:
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s
xterm: DISPLAY is not set
I tried setting the xorg.conf that I use on my Ubuntu install to the xorg.conf for Arch, but I get the exact same issue.
Any ideas? Need more info? I'd post the relevant file, but I'm posting this on my work laptop, and only have a CLI on my personal one.

Have you tried following the guide by configuring your .xinitrc, and then running xinit?
You could also try
xinit /usr/bin/xterm

Turns out that uninstalling the open-source ATI drivers and installing the proprietary drivers did the trick.
