I have installed compiz-core and compiz-deskmenu. I have exec compiz in my .xinitrc.
When I run startx I get a black screen with a mouse x pointer.
Is there some configuration that needs to be done, or have I done anything wrong?
The wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz doesn't give any clues.

try exec compiz-manager.
You may need to install compiz-manager and atleast the main fusion plugins

Or just install 'fusion-icon' and then "exec fusion-icon" in your .xinitrc.
This worked fine for me some month ago.

Everythings working fine. You just have to add your wallpaper, mouse icon, panel, and all the rest of that stuff. Try downloading bmpanel then add that to your xinitrc file so it looks like this:
exec bmpanel &
exec compiz
let me know if you need anymore help.

Compiz by itself works fine, try Googling (and forum-searching) Compiz standalone for more info.

Installed compiz-fusion an got it working in some way. Now I just have to get familiar with using it.
