when i installed xorg to do 'hwd -x' then show No xserver installed.bug?

You should rephrase that question. WHAT did you do? WHAT does it not do? More information would be helpful because, usually, the "bug" is PEBKAC in such a situation.
Todays mistakes are tomorrows catastrophes.

I got a similar problem today. On a new installation hwd -xa could only create a file named XF86Config-4 but it was not bootable. Two weeks ago it worked fine for me.

It would seem hwd needs to be updated to accommodate the new xorg version. As hwd is no longer being developed, this is unlikely to happen, unless a new developer picks it up. I'd recommend you use an alternative method to configure xorg.

hi guys
I got a similar problem today. On a new installation hwd -xa could only create a file named XF86Config-4 but it was not bootable. Two weeks ago it worked fine for me.
i can confirm that.strange "error"
last week i played a little bit with the xorg settings on my new laptop.
it worked so far, i could see the tree xterms when i run startx but i deleted it again because i tried out several things and i wanted to start with a new clean xorg.conf
so today i wanted to continue(exactly the same system as it was a week before), and the same strange error occurred...
and it can't be only hwd's fault, because X -configure doesn't work too...:/
hope some on have any good idea

I just installed 2007.08-2, and after pacman -Syu, and a fully updated system, I got similar results from nvidia-xconfig- and it created /etc/X11/XF86Config...this has never happened to me before. Very odd. Seems like some weird upstream xorg issues lately.

has somboy a solution for that issue?

So what? Forget about hwd. In almost 2 years of using Arch I've never used that. X -configure is it.
harry: I haven't seen any logs. "Doesn't work" really doesn't work as problem description.

hey,
yes you are right, the error is quite likely on my side...
when i run X -configure i got a backtrace with 7 lines of cryptical output...
at the bottom it says: "fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting"

Have you tried:
xorgconfig
?
Offline
/usr/bin/xorgcfg is replaced by /usr/bin/xorgconfig
but uh... yea... hwd is no longer being developed.
/usr/share/hwdata/{pcitable,usbtable,pcmciatable} have newer timestamp than http://user-contributions.org/projects/ … mciatable}.
Fix:
cp /usr/bin/mkxcfg /usr/bin/mkxcfg.orig
vi /usr/bin/mkxcfg
*Press* :
*Type*
%s/\/usr\/bin\/xorgcfg/\/usr\/bin\/xorgconfig/g
