How to install Xorg 7?
Help, I really can't find out... Just doing pacman -S xorg as normal (with testing repo enabled of course), or ??
Will it automaticlly install all modules needed to use evdev and radeon driver (until I install fglrx)?

It's a fresh install.

pacman -S xorg-server xf86-input-evdev xf86-video-atiought to grab the base stuff you need.

Re: How to install Xorg 7?
Thanks!
But it seems not to like my IDE controller (ASUS A7V600 / VIA something chipset), so it can't be installed. Tried everything. Very sad because Arch is the only Linux distro I like. :x

Re: How to install Xorg 7?
Sorry, very stressed atm. :x
It is saying something with /dev/hda: max request size 128kib and I should try to put irqpoll to the boot commandline (not working). acpi=off isn't working either. 
I can boot into the installer, but in cfdisk the /dev/hda drive is REALLY slow, and even when I try to install Grub on /dev/sda, it justs keeps locking up and getting errors repeatedly. :cry:
