does arch support for amd 780g matherboard?

does arch support for amd 780g matherboard?

3 days ago, I installed the arch 2007.08.02, and I update the system up to date. I installed the xorg, ati driver, gdm, and gnome, but my 22" SAMSUNG LCD displayed error (display the desktop but the colors all wrong, can't see anything clearly), then I downloaded the ati catalyst install package ,  and installed it, the error occured too, so I came here to ask you
how to deal with it?

the video card of the matherboard  is radeon hd3200.

Solved. My Fault, I should use pacman -S catalyst to install the video driver

Could you please post your xorg.conf? I have the same motherboard and although I installed the catalyst driver I can't get X to work.

When I test it the 24" Lacie goes completely black and even if I try to kill the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspase it remains black althoughI can still type in commands and reboot the system.

Sorry for taking this long to reply, I was out of town.

I finally got it working with the latest catalyst. Video and everything. I am posting my xorg in case anyone finds it helpfull. I haven't done any tweaks and it is far from complete but it is working as base project.
