well, after installing i thought i could work on my own but i think i fail again to understand what is happening here
the cdrom is either acting weird or arch linux don't want to recognize it
the problem im having is that the cd i insert won't read
i need to install dchpd to get my internet working
I don't know whats wrong now, it was working fine while i was installing arch, but now it just.. won't mount, or won't do anything

Check the device location of your drive against the entry in /etc/fstab.

everything is working!, im very happy now, im running gnome, which its freaking fast
but im having some problems, you see im not sure if GDM starts automatic
also, the GRUB... i just upgraded to the lastest kernel.. butt.. i dont know if GRUb menu.lst updated.. since its in the other partition i dont know how it would work..

I don't think that you have to update menu.lst, it will automatically load the newest kernel.
As for your GDM issue, do something in the style of this:
in the "/etc/inittab" file:
Make sure the initdefault is 5
id:5:initdefault:
then make sure this line is present in the file:
x:5:once:/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
I think that should work, but I don't boot in GDM so I'm not sure. Maybe the wiki is worth a shot for more detailed information about setting up GDM and/or Gnome.
Good luck!

thanks a lot,
i just installed my nvidia drivers, it took me a while because of the directories... why is xserver installed too? i mean different directories is confusing.. i relaly don't know
also, i want to use 1280 but the option doesn't appear, which is weird, and..
my last problem
ldconfig been whinning for some time now
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 is empty, not checked.

How did you install the nvidia drivers?
The recommended way (the preferred way when you have standard kernels) is doing:
pacman -S nvidia
Then you have to generate the xorg.conf if you haven't already done so and edit it. The easiest way to do this is by running
nvidia-xconfig
Ofcourse, you can also edit xorg.conf by hand.
More information about setting up nvidia can be found at the archwiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … DIA_driver
I also believe that the ldconfig error should disappear after successfully installing nvidia.
About the 1280 resolution, you can add it by hand in /etc/xorg.conf
Find the place where the resolutions are and then edit the "Modes" line(s) like this:
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
(I don't know if your precise resolution is 1280x1024 or 1280x960 or anything else..)

oh, and next time you might want to post separate problems in separate topics, you might get more response that way, because some users just glance over the topics and enter the topics they know alot about
