Hi all,
I've installed Arch as a base install, then installed KDE 3.4.1.
For some reason "startkde" script from the cmd line give me these errors:
xsetroo: unable to open display
:
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
:
How do I solve this problem? And get KDE to start up automatically on system boot?
TIA

Did you configure the X windows system?

I ran "Xorg -configure" but it says unable to get the mouse... which is a USB optical Logitech wheel mouse!!!
I need to edit the xorg.conf file but not sure what to enter in there for mouse support...
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
:
/dev/mouse
Any comments on what to edit?
Monitor is:

you don't run startkde from the command line. you put the command in a file called .xinitrc in your home directory (don't forget the period at the start) and then run startx. This information is in the wiki.

install hwd. Then run
hwd -x
That will create you a file called xorg.conf.hwd in /etc/X11
Rename that to xorg.conf and (hopefully) that's all you'll have to do to get a working xorg.conf.
