[Solved] New Install, Starting X automaticall after startup.

Hi,

I have installed Arch linux with Openbox yesterday. I have not set it up completely yet. I have added exec openbox-session to ~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice


exec openbox-session

But everytime I start my laptop, I have to manually start X using startx. How can I automatically start X whenever I boot system.

Thanks

It's clearly explained in the wiki.
