xorg/nvidia problems

Hi

1.running archlinux for about 2 weeks, no problems, only some small ones solved with the wiki
2.new harddrive - ergo new installation
3.installation of the base system via ftp, the other parts too ( xorg, gnome, ... )
4.start of hwd -x -> cannot find xservers; ok on with xorg -configure
5.manual configuration of xorg.conf -> monitor/nvidia

Finally startx, abort because missing 'nvidia' and 'glx' -> no problem ;-), manual copy in the right path; X starts and aborts because of missing mouse device ( mouse/keyboard driver is installed; mouse at auto ) ...

Btw. my mouse is a Razor Copperhead, no problem so far with xorg 6.8.2.

Read some threads, but to no avail or iam to dump to get it ...

Ok iam frustrated - is this some kind of beta test?

Greetings Oliver

pacman -S xorg

should fix your problem.

Four applets dont start too, after startx and running gnome. No clue why this happens, libxss is installed ( according to some similar thread ) ...

->WorkspaceSwitcherApplet
->WindowMenuApplet
->WindowListApplet
->ShowDesktopApplet

Thanks my problem is solved - I changed the mirror :shock: most of the mirrors contains ( extra? ) old data ...
Furthermore I installed the new hwd ( v4.8.x ) and did it the easy way ;-)
