Cannot log in via SLiM

Hi!

When I enter username & password (i am using SLiM login manager), SLiM throws me back at login page. I checked slim.log and each login attempt ends with following error:

(EE) Failed to load module "record" (module does not exist, 0)

I think it refers to following lines in my xorg.conf

Section "Module"
   Load "record"
   Load "dri2"
   Load "dri"
   Load "extmod"
   Load "dbe"
   Load "glx"
EndSection

How can I fix the errors?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Cannot log in via SLiM

Can you start X without using SLiM?

Is this a new install or has it been working before? Did you do an update recently?

I know it's a little unrelated but, do you need an "xorg.conf" file at all? Does it work if you just remove it?

Post your .xinitrc if you have one. What desktop enviroment have, gnome, KDE, fluxbox, etc?

*facepalm* I'm ashamed of myself
The .xinitrc was not in my home directory, thanks n0dix for reminding to check that!
now all works fine.

No problem. Don't forget to add the SOLVED tag to the title.
