I just reinstalled arch and I'm having a little trouble with the login.My system boots to the login screen alright but when i enter my user name and password a command prompt comes up and i have to enter startkde.The only thing i did
differently on this install was the method i used to auto-start kde,instead of adding kdm to the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf I edited the /etc/inittab file.I set inittab back to its default setting and added kdm to the daemons array and
still no change.Any help with this problem would be appreciated so i don't have to format again.
BTW.If i shut the command-line down I'm taken back to the login screen

it's a lil hard to me to understand what "auto-start kde method" have you used. "/etc/rc.d/kdm restart" works?
have you tried to edit your inittab like this and then reboot?
