Edit your ~/.xinitrc Datei.
Where is this? I installed Xfree and kdebase, kdelibs but I can't find the config file to start it on boot
Please help!
Initial istall was fast and flawless, thanks Arch for such a fast distro.

if ~/.xinitrc doesn't exist, edit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
and remove whatever exec commands are there and add "startkde".

Trying to figure out which config file to add the startup command to so that X will start automatically on boot. Do I just put "StartX" in a config file?
Thanks in advance!

If you want X to start before you login, edit your /etc/inittab, and change:
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:
If you want X to start after you login, you can add "startx" to your ~/.bash_login

Did that, now I get a generic X86 login that won't login. How do I get it back like it was? I can't login now, it ask me to pick a widget, when I pick default, the screen freezes and no input can be made

I am goign to start over now. I can't mount my file system to make changes to the init file that you directed change in. It just stops

If using LILO, add after the entry for linux, "init 3", so it could be like:
Linux init 3
If GRUB, do "e" on the linux entry, choose the first line, do "e" again, add "init=3", press "enter" than "b".

I actually formatted the drive completed the setup and brought X back up before getting your instructions below. What an incredible distro! WHy can't the mainstreamers be this fast?
Thanks for your time regardless,
