a good installer (configurator) for X

I love pacman, becouse i've read, and the little use I've had.

But other distros like sabayon (gentoo) my last one proved, has a very good X configuration system.

It is open source, you can add it to the distro, or any other good xconfigurator, even in text mode.

I am reading X wiki in spanish and english, and still have no X working, with an ATI X800, and fglrx is suposed to work, but it doesn't with this distro.

I had problems too with internet conection, but it was solved by "dhcpcd eth0" if someone has the same problem, and a dhcp network, but I will have to make it automatically some day that X will work.

I downloaded & install (pacman) GNOME, KDE and Xorg latest stable.

Re: a good installer (configurator) for X

Show your xorg.conf and all (EE) lines after startx command here. We will help you.

In Arch you will learn to do everything yourself.

Just change

eth0="something"

in your /etc/rc.conf to

eth0="dhcp"

Cheers Sigi

edit: And to your problems with X: as ProzacR suggested, the output of grep EE < /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be helpfull!
