Hi, reinstalled slim twice but I can't seem to start it still...
I've already done:
#/etc/rc.d/slim start
but it only fails
I also added "@slim" on my rc.conf
Any ideas?:(
Thanks in advance

Try to remove it with pacman -Rsn slim, than install again - and post the error message.

The second method didn't worked for me as well...Is there something wrong? I've already reinstalled slim..:(

#id:5:initdefault:
uncomment this line and comment id:3:initdefault: line
or
comment this line:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
and add "slim" to the DAEMONS line in rc.conf.
you can either use inittab method OR daemon method

Well, could you paste your slim.log ? (/var/log/slim.log)

These are the logs I have:

# Log file
logfile /var/log/slim.log
I have these lines in /etc/slim.conf so check for the logfile directive in conf.
By the way, try starting slim with
slim -d
I hope it'll give output.

I get this error

This appears when X can't start.
Can you start X manually?
For example grub/menu.lst allow booting with or without X

title Arch Linux X11 (graphical regime)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro 5

I have this as well...But it doesn't produce one...
Where will I start slim -d? or how? Do I need to do /etc/rc.d/slim ?:|

You've uncommented lines in your inittab that should be commented. The first part under "Runlevels" is there for information only. Only the "id:5:initdefault:" line should be uncommented.
Offline
I've uncommented it already, my first post shows it...I still just boot into console...Is this slim related or my system itself?:(
BTW: When I issue startx at the console my xfce4 desktop starts, is that right?:/

I had this sometime ago too. It turned out to be something to do with evdev config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (can't remember exactly now)
See whether you have any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Offline
You must create /var/lock directory by mkdir /var/lock. Slim works fine then.
