Need an xorg.conf to use inside virtual box

Hi,

Just setup virtualbox on my work windows 7 thinkpad, installed Arch but its been so long since I have done a fresh install!

I have installed X and hal, but everytime I start X I still cant use the keyboard and mouse!!!

Is anyone able to supply me with a basic xorg.conf file and hal .fdi files that I can use just so I can get the display working?

Thanks.

did you actually started hal daemon before starting X?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
