Hello!
I'm new to Arch so please forgive me if I'm asking about something obvious.
After spending many hours on reading and comprehension of Arch philosophy I finally dared to install Arch 2007.08-02 (Don't Panic) on my computer Fortunately I was prepared for text-mode configuration, but obviously not prepared enough... My first major problem is with the X server. I have followed strictly the instructions from the wiki and installed xorg and catalyst drivers afterwards (for Radeon X800 Pro). Now probably something is wrong with my xorg.conf, which you can see below, but there's also a bit more sophisticated problem causing this type of message in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) fglrx(0): Shutdown CMMQS
(EE) fglrx(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0x2000 at 0xb7c78000
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] Closed DRM master.
I couldn't find a solution either on this board and on the web as well, so I dare to ask for a little tip what to do to solve this
Thx in advance.
P.S. My xorg.conf

Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed."

Hello quad3d@work Thanks for the interest, but I've already solved this problem. I think it was something with my xorg.conf file, because when I made some changes to it, suddenly all started to work. If You are still interested in the output of the above command, well, here it is
[zibi1981@felipe ~]$ cat ~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
#
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# exec icewm
# exec openbox
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
# exec ratpoison
# exec dwm
# ... or any other WM of your choosing ...
# exec xterm
All the lines are commented, because I use Entrance with appropriate input in /etc/inittab file
[zibi1981@felipe ~]$ cat /etc/inittab
#

# 0 Halt

Anyway, thanks for the interest once more
