Hello,
In the process of setting up Arch on my parents desktop PC...
When attempting to run gmome-session:
(gnome-session:3587): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(gnome-session:3587): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I am currently attempting to use the VGA graphics driver as the one for the integrated graphics card (VIA) doesn't work at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

It looks like you need to set up your locale:

I have already done that and the locale has been set.

OK, managed to sort the locale part however the following still remains:
(gnome-session:3587): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

Looks like X isn't running. How are you starting gnome-session?

For the record - the PC is using "VIA - Display - VIA Chrome9 HC IGP Family WDDM" according to Vista. I'm having difficulty getting the xf86-video-via driver working. It seems that Xorg -configure isn't detecting any settings.

I was using "gnome-session". startx works although the graphics are rather funky to say the least.

OK, managed to get the openchrome driver working. However the cursor is being displayed as a strange square shaped graphical blob. Also when moving it off the bottom of the screen the entire screen goes crazy. Any ideas? Thanks.

Solved it...had to do some more tweaking to the Xorg config file.
