[SOLVED] Fresh install unable to login via KDM

Hi,

This is my first time installing Archlinux but I'm having problems getting past kdm.

Initially, while doing some testing before initializing kdm to startup on boot, I was able to go into KDE via startx, I added kdm and now it doesn't work.

KDM does start, and when it goes in, when I enter my login info and login, it pops me back at the login screen.

Things I've done:

1) Cleared my home directory
2) Checked /var/log/kdm.log

It seems that on every successful login, it appends this chunk into log:

record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time.
record: This extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now..
record: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/showbug.cgi?id=20500

---

I don't know how I can proceed now.

Any help?

---

Edit: However, if I kill kdm, and run startx, I get right into KDE.

---

Edit: So HAL wasn't added to rc.conf. My bad.
