Judging from those error messages, it looks like you might not have a working internet connection. Check the Arch wiki for instructions on setting up networking.

You should be able to fix the invalid locale problem by uncommenting a the correct line(s) in /etc/locale.gen and then running locale-gen.

If you haven't already done so, you'll need to get a working xorg.conf file. You can do that by going to the command line, gaining root permissions, and running:

Code:
xorgconfig
Answer all the questions about your hardware correctly, and try startx again. If it doesn't work, you might need to create an .xinitrc file. Or if you want to boot right into Gnome and you installed GDM, enter gdm into the last part of your DAEMONS section in your /etc/rc.conf file.

This wiki page might help, too:

Send a message via ICQ to Tutku
Also you can configure your xorg.conf file via hwd.

at first:
Code:
#pacman -S hwd
after installation, use that command;
Code:
 hwd -xa
