hiya,
I've installed KDE and configured xorg. I've added KDE to the deamon list in rc.conf and rebooted. During boot loading KDE Desktop Manager is done but when the boot is complete I see a black screen for a second and I'm returned to the shell. what have I done wrong?
yours,

I've never used kde but I guess adding kde to the deamon list is wrong as long as you don't mean kdm.
To start kde add kde to your ~/.xinitrc and run startx.
Hail to the thief!

are you shure xorg is configured correct and works?
what says
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
if youwant start KDE with the startx command, put
exec startkde
into ~/.xinitrc
if you want to use KDM for login there are two methods:
first
edit the file /etc/inittab
change the line
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:
and change the line
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/xdm -nodaemon
to
x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon
second
add kdm as last entry to the DAEMONS Array in /etc/rc.conf
I don't know if the second method works. I use the first one..

seems you have the graphics driver (i740) not installed.
you can install it with
pacman -Sy xf86-video-i740
EDIT
for mouse and keyboard support you should also install
xf86-input-mouse
xf86-input-keyboard
have a look at this:
