Update Xorg 7 and arch-system, this is my contribution

This works for me, this is my contribution, I hope can help someone in troubles:
pacman -Sy
pacman -Rd xorg-server xorg-clients (if installed)
pacman -Sf xorg-xdm
pacman -S xorg-clients xorg-server
pacman -Sf xorg

pacman -Syu (upgrade all system, almost 200mb)

pacman -S xorg-fonts-75dpi
pacman -S xorg-fonts-100dpi
pacman -S libxcomposite libxss

Enter in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reconfigure the paths so:
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/CID/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local/"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Write startx, if it doesn't works kdm or gdm, write:
mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/bin/
ln -s /usr/bin/X /usr/X11R6/bin/X
If doesn't works, control the errors, maybe it misses a file, install it with pacman.

Moreover, I've a ricompiled kernel with drivers nvidia, so I'm entered on my kernel source and I've written:
make all && make modules_install
generate-modprobe.conf
cp -f System.map /boot
cd arch/i386/boot
cp -f bzImage /boot

At this point I've rebooted and I've reinstalled Nvidia drivers:

./NVidia.xxxxxx.run (WITHOUT OVERWRITE FILE /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
