How to install in a eeePC 10008HA?

Hello to all.
I have some problems installing xorg in this netbook. I can install the base system but when I do X -config /root/xorg.config.new it seems that can launch X system but not, it only show me a sad blank screen.
I tried to copy a xorg.conf from eeebuntu, that can launch it, but don't work neither.
Maybe a problem with firmware? I don't know if it's a problem with Xorg or with installation in general.

Anyone that can install Arch in this netbook could help me?

If you use HAL you shouldn't even need to use an xorg.conf. Have you read the wiki pages relating to installation of X.org and the pages relating to Arch on the Eee's?

Hal and dbus installed and I get two errors, first of all I cannot launch the X, when I try X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf I get the following message:
X: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libhal.so.1: file too short.

I try reinstalling hal and it works, but when I launch X -config I cannot use the keyboard, the cursor don't appear...

Power off, power on and go to point numer one again. Reinstall hal and try.

I tried to disable input hotplugging, not appears to work. I revise the xorg.conf for monitor, card... Everything appears to be ok. Here's a copy:

The 10-keymap.fdi has:
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">es</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string></merge>

I don't know how can I do. I follow the installation process of the beginners guide, install the base system, wlan up, update the system with pacman, add user, install sudo, sound up, when I try to install X I can't.
I follow this steps to install X:
Install the intel driver, xf86-input-evdev, mesa, xorg, xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse, xf86-input-synaptics, install hal and dbus. Try to launch X and get errors.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks

You went with the xorg.conf, so define the keyboard there as well:

Section "InputDevice"
                 Identifier    "Keyboard0"
                 Driver        "kbd"
                 Option       "XkbLayout"   "es"
EndSection
