1. Ok, when I start my computer I have added "slim" as a daemon (log in manager), but my mouse or keyboard doesn't work! (It is a desktop computer). The mouse or nor the keyboard works when starting "startxfce4" either.

2. When I log in (keyboard not working nor the mouse) i see that the screen resolution is very low as well. It should be 1248x1024, but i think it is rather 800x600 or something

3. Is there a way to start

dhcpcd eth0

automatically on startup? How? (The same with the wireless)

1) See:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … server_1.5

2) What graphics drivers are you using and what is your video card?

3) Well, yes there is, but that probably isn't what you want to do anyway. If you set
eth0="dhcp"
In your /etc/rc.conf then eth0 should automatically work with dhcp.
If you really must, you can put dhcpcd eth0 in your
/etc/rc.local
file and it will run at startup.

I managed to remove the driver, but my card is "NVIDIA GrForce FX 5200 (it is an older card)

For your network you could try Netcfg:

1. Make sure you've added hal & fam on your daemons on rc.conf
2. How about the nvidia driver (nvidia-96xx)? Try installing it for you are using a FX card
3. Apply what statix have said. (add "network" on your daemons to do that).
