Xorg: module "glx" and commands not found???

Hello, all.
I'm fairly new to Linux but I'm not a total noob. I have FC6 on my laptop and am currently trying to get a GUI working for Arch on my desktop.

I pacman-ed hwd, and ran it to create a Xorg.conf, and upon running it I get the following errors:

(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 28: twm: command not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 29: xclock: command not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 30: xterm: command not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 31: xterm: command not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 32: exec: xterm: not found

waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

The last comment it makes I know isn't critical, so I'm not worried about that. But I need help with the "glx" part and the commands not found.

Thanks in advance.

Did you installed libgl-dri? If not install it, and it will fix glx problems.

For the command not found, you need to create a ~/.xinitrc file. Before, you'll need to install the WM/DE that you want to use.
There is a sample file in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sta … ents_HOWTO
