i chose to use this WM because i am familiar with it. i am a former slackware user. i just installed arch about ten mins ago and i am trying to get fluxbox running. i for some reason had no .xinitrc file in my home dir so i made one only with the line exec startfluxbox but when i startx all it does is... start x lol i am wondering what i need to do to get fluxbox to work

There is an example .xinitrc in /etc/skel
What you probably need in .xinitrc is.
exec startfluxbox
However I am not positive on that, check the beginners guide on the wiki, or the fluxbox wiki entry, both give instructions on setting up fluxbox.

you aren't running startx as root right? make sure you are running X as a user. also, have you tried just putting fluxbox instead of startfluxbox into .xinitrc?
