I have installed Arch and am having problems with the auto login options within slim.conf. I have installed the following X packages:
xorg-server,
xorg-xinit
xorg-twm, xterm
and for the graphics: xf86-video-fbdev
I have also added a user and password, and altered the sudoers file to suit. I have changed the following lines:
# default_user simone
# auto_login no
to:
default_user jon
auto_login yes
I have managed to get the slim login prompt to appear on boot by editing /etc/inittab, but the changes made for bypassing this have not been as successful.
Anybody know what I have missed? Maybe something to do with adding a user to some group?!
Cheers

It seems this is a problem with the ARM version of Arch and is a raspberry pi thing. A friend of mine is having the same trouble, but has found the latest version includes various fixes. Seems to do the trick.
