Hi. I just installed xfce4 using the wiki guides and I've hosed my install.
I had kde3mod running fine but I wanted to try the new xfce 4.6. I put ! in front of kdm3 in my rc.conf and rebooted to the login prompt. After install I ran startxfce4 and it came up and ran fine at my monitor's highest res. I couldn't get it to save 1280x800 in xfce settings when I hit apply running as root.
So I thought maybe i need a WM so I installed slim and added it to rc.conf. Rebooted, now that loads and when I put my login name in it errors out with a login not allowed or something like that. So slim login screen comes up and I can't alt-f1 or f2 to another terminal to remove slim from rc.conf. Ctr-alt-bspace doesn't shut down X either. lol
So I'm locked out of arch. Kinda funny but hey I'm trying new things.
Feel free to move this newb section. Ideas please?
