black screen after clean instalation

I have made fresh instalation of archlinux.
I have isntaled xorg and kde 4.7.
I have added dbus to demos and edited /etc/initab
When I reboot system everything is ok to the point when KDM  should appear, then screen becomes black.
What is funny sometime everything is ok and I can login.

$ uname -a
Linux arch 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 9 14:57:41 CEST 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Re: black screen after clean instalation

What video driver do you have loaded ("lsmod")? Also, have a look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and check for errors there.
