Hello..
I'm new to Arch and have a problem with gdm autostart.
I have add gdm to daemon list, and based on boot up screen it was successfully started. But nothing happened afterwards. I still have to start gnome manually (using startx). Manual gnome-session with startx is fine.
here's some copy (gdm-related) from everything.log

and output of uname -a (in case it's related)

Any help would be appreciated. Please ask If there's other logs and/or specific info I have to give.
Thanks.
edit:
Added HAL to daemon array solved the problem.

Is hal in the daemon list? If not it needs to be for gdm to run.

You probably don't need to start hal in the daemons array, just dbus. Is it enabled?
Because staring hal will also start dbus, and that is probably why it made it work. Changing it will probably shave a few seconds (1 or 2) of your boot time too.
