Read forum but still x problem

In trying to get an xfce4 desktop running and investigating the issues on Arch forum;) I have unsuccessfully configured using the following:
    pacman -S xfree86
    pacman -S xfce4
    looks like above installed fine.
    In /home/bigd51/.xinitrc /root/.xinitrd,and /etc/skel/.xinitrc typed "exec startxfce4". The other wm's
    I tried (Blackbox, icebox) were already in there but not xfce4 so I typed it in myself and remmed
    all others out.
    logged out
    typed startxfce4 as bigd51 and root
    I get "fatal server error:
           no screens found"
    Doesn't look like my Xserver is working, right?
    I also set up XFree86Config.new, then cp it to etc/X11
    'cause I thought that's where it belongs, but no dice.
    Should this file have been renamed?
    I can't seem to find any more answers searching forum, can anyone help
    me correct what i'm doing wrong?
    Thanx in advance,
    NaperDave
