i decided to install Arch a few days ago and finally got around to it... but, as to be expected with a novice like me, i've having some issues... specifically with xf86.
1. my M$ Intellimouse Optical (USB) isn't working right... i know that it's probably because i don't have something configured right... can anyone give me a clue as to where and what i should edit to get it to work? (even a reference to how to get it recognized and added to /dev would be suffcient)
2. X always gives me a 800x600 interface, even though i have specified that it should be 1024x768... is there some way to fix this? (i'm really confused on this one because i've never had a problem with X and resolutions.)
anyways, thanks for your help...

Hi, take a look into your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, there you can change manually your resolutions. Same for your mouse. In half an hour I can tell you what I have in my XF86Config.
EDIT:
Here my mouse config:
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
And here my screen sections - for all depth I have following modes:
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
I think you only have to add the "1024x768" at the first place of Modes and it should work.

In my XF86 file I have this for a usb mouse
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Also note that this is what you posted..... Optioni "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Notice the "i" after "Option" that may be a problem too.

I'd be ripping my hair out if I had any.

Oh, the "i" in my posting was a typo, I did not a copy and past to post it into my thread. I'll correct it now in my thread.
