I finally got around to installing Arch Linux on a netbook, and already updated the kernel, et etc.
Installed xorg-server, hal, gnome via pacman. Installed graphics drivers, and synaptic touchpad driver.

When I type the command Startx
it takes me to a screen that looks like this:
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/246822_1613267791351_1825998672_1013889_2320865_n.jpg

It gives me that black "X" mouse, a black background, and for some reason, starts up with 3 terminal windows. The mouse is able to move and click around, and the terminals work, and ctrl+alt+f2 gives me a terminal.

Did I install anything wrong or something? o.o

Create a new user. That generally happens because people try to log with root account. If that doesn't work, make sure you did configure everything right and google more.

Is your .xinitrc file configured properly?
To work with "startx", it should contain something like this:


exec ck-launch-session gnome-session


The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.
