Arch Linux ARM on the RPi2, having problems with Cinnamon

[BrunoSG]

Hi guys,
So I got my Pi 2 today and got Arch running, now I want a DE and I chose Cinnamon. So, following a few guides this is what I ended up doing (logged in with the root user)

pacman -Syy
pacman -Syu
pacman -S alsa-utils alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-plugins //audio drivers
pacman -S xf86-video-fbdev //video drivers?
pacman -S cinnamon
cd brunosg
nano .xinitrc
// added 'exec cinnamon-session' to the file and saved
startx

Then I get an error:

//Various lines
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error

This is the video I've been watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA95jzOyA9w

Any ideas? I'm a total noob, and this is, in fact, my first Linux PC so sorry if this question is way too stupid

I opened a thread on /r/archlinux too: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm ... lems_with/

The list of packages you listed doesn't include the xorg windowing system. In the YouTube video you referenced, the author also forgot this. Consequently his Mate install failed, and so he corrects himself by installing the xorg packages around the 8:40 mark in the video...
