I recently installed Arch Linux on my laptop and almost everything is working fine. Some time ago, I used to use a tool that detects my hardware and generates a xorg.conf, but this time, I installed Arch and X is running fine without xorg.conf.
However, I have a problem with 3D Aceleration. My 3D card is Intel x3100 (GM965). (I installed xf86-video-intel driver) 3D aceleration is very slow. Ive run glxinfo and it shows only NONE and SLOW flags. Some simple opengl games like supertux run very very slow.
Ive tried to copy and paste a xorg file from a x3100 user, but X didnt work at all. What can I do to enable 3D aceleration. Thanks in advance
EDIT: I was really happy I didnt have to write a xorg.conf file. Will I have to?

This is my xorg.conf. I'm using a third-generation MacBook (MacBook3,1), which has a GMA X3100.

Thanks... I could start X with this xorg.conf , BUT i still got slow 3D aceleration, and glxinfo still returns me only SLOW or NONE flags. Maybe the problem is not on xorg.conf

Actually, Im sorry, I had made a mistake.
Now, I placed xorg.conf in the right place and Xorg says: "FATAL ERROR: no screens found"

Hmm, try adding this?

Thanks for your answer
I've tried adding this "ServerLayout" layout section and it gives me the same fatal error from X: "no screen founds"

Your machine's chipset is almost identical to my own — what computer do you have? (I'm asking because it looks a lot like Apple hardware, except for the card reader components.)
At this point, I have no idea why it isn't working... sorry man.
# edit: Never mind, not Apple hardware. But pretty close.

ACER ASPIRE 4720Z....
(off-topic: well ive always wondered if osx86 could run on my hardware... i ll give it a shot later)
Ive also installed hwd from AUR, and tried to use its generated xorg.conf file but it didnt work either.

Now, I placed xorg.conf in the right place and Xorg says: "FATAL ERROR: no screens found"
This has gone too far.... I have the same hardware on an Acer machine, here is the simple xorg.conf which uses HAL for inputs (kbd, mouse):
http://sysphere.org/~anrxc/xorg.conf-simple
and here is the complete xorg.conf with all input, display, acceleration ... ... options

OK...none of the xorg.conf files worked..
Then, I realized I didnt installed intel drivers (im REALLY sorry!!).. So I did... and now I am using your xorg.conf file!
STILL, I have poor performance on simple OpenGL applications and glxinfo returns only "SLOW" and "NONE". What else am I missing ?

You are not experiencing anything different than the rest of us. If you had better performance in the past it is because you were using XAA or EXA acceleration, now you are using the new acceleration architecture called UXA - additionally there is a new memory management system called GEM which UXA is using (where XAA and EXA used TTM).... read all about it here http://keithp.com/blogs/Sharpening_the_ … ver_Focus/
You just have to be patient (some of us are already having gray hairs) and eventually performance should be restored. In the mean time you can try reverting to the old driver and acceleration with the xf86-video-intel-legacy package, you can start reading about it here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69329

Well in my case it's X4500 without xorg.conf, it seems working fine, both 2D accelerated and 3D applications are running perfectly to me. Did you enable KMS when running without xorg.conf? Seems it needs KMS so that DRI2 and UXA can be enabled automatically.
