I have just installed arch onto a new SATA drive and isused a pacman

I then continued on with alsa-utils then onto xorg
Used pacman -S xorg to install xorg
I then ran Xorg -configure which produced xorg.conf.new
Started X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
X started with the "X" in the screen at which it froze the machine
requiring a hard reset (microsoft reset)
Tried running X without a config file and it locked as well.
Everytime I install X I have this problem, with the newer versions.
What am I missing when I install?
The Xorg wiki page I believe is out of date for the newer xorg versions.
Can someone list the steps needed to install successfully?
Thank you
Be sure to have hal running. The latest version from testing will wait
forever for a hal instance to connect to when input hotplugging is
enabled.
Ok i will see if that is what is going on.
Is there a way to kill X if hal is not running other than a hard reset ?
I am running jfs but I rather not test jfs ability to recover after a
hard reset :)
