I set my archbox to boot the HAL damon when it booted up, me thinking it didn't work. I run it manually, to find out that it failed to start, without this I cannot start X. Could someone help me?

Yes, I added it to rc.conf, and it's in the daemons section, I actually noticed it start up this time, although I don't know if X will start. Wish me luck
By the way, Nice orly owl.

When I start X by running:
X
It just returns a black screen, I press ctrl + alt + backspace, and nothing, I also cannot go to another console, and yes I have a .xinitrc file. Could someone help me troubleshoot?

Recently I've also had HAL fail a number of times. It seems the 1st or second boot after an upgrade pacman -Syu (so I'm not sure what's always changed) is the main time it happens. HAL also failed to manually start the last time. What I've done (that seems to have worked so far) is explicitly start DBUS before HAL (even though HAL is supposed to start it) and that is working (at the moment).

for a kickoff - you dont start X by typing 'X' - you should do a 'startx' to ensure proper initialization

I will try that.

Okay when I startx, I get many errors:
Failed to load module "mouse"
Failed to load module "kbd"
No input driver matching "mouse"
No input driver matching "kbd"

Bump? Help?

Seems like from this you don't have xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse drivers installed.
Also when you say hal failed to start, is it because you ran /etc/rc.d/hal start after boot up. In that case, if hal has already started it will come up as [FAILED]

Hey thanks! I have no idea if it works, it doesn't show an X but it returns no errors. Odd.... thanks anyways, I'm going to follow the rest of the beginners guide.
