I'm struggling to get x to work on my Dell Latitude D420 laptop. It worked great in Ubuntu, but i really want to run Arch on it.
I have installed the following packages:
xorg
hwd
915resolution
xf86-video-i810
mesa
xorg-fonts-100dpi
font-bh-ttf
xorg-fonts-type1
libgl-dri
I ran hwd -x in order to generate xorg.conf. I changed driver from vesa to i810 and runs startx. Here's the error message:
Current Operating System: Linux primux 2.6.18-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 21 13:20:13 CEST 2006 i686

Here is my xorg.conf
http://nagi-fanboi.net/xorg.conf
dell e1405, intel 945
latest xorg, i810 drivers, beryl, aiglx, gnome 2.16
judging by your error, i'd suggest uninstalling i810 and reinstalling it

Thanks, that actually worked!
I still can't get the 1280x800 resolution to work. Any suggestions?

get 915resolution from the AUR and follow the instructions

Ah! Of course!
I added
/usr/sbin/915resolution 38 1280 800 24to rc.local as described in some other thread, and everyone is happy!
Thanks guys!
