Hi,
i'm facing issues configuring Xorg with both hal/xorgconfig:
* hal says "No Xserver found", i guess it's a bug with the new version of Xorg
* xorgconfig is not installed on my machine, and pacman couldn't find it

The first one I don't know, but the second what you want is "X -configure" and "X -config".

the script generated by X -configure didn't work: the graphics are very slow, and the mouse/keyboard don't work

Try searching the wiki for directions on how to configure Xorg, pay special attention to input hot-plugging.
What card do you have and what driver are you trying to use?
Did you search the forum for similar problems?
Does that driver provide acceleration for your card?
Oh and don't bump your thread, it's not very nice http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … te#Bumping

Hi
I have a similar problem. I installed Archlinux two months ago very easy but I had to change my video card, I had a geforce Nvidia 6200, and following the wiki it was very easy to make work everything but now I have a Nvidia FX 5500, so I had to use the legacy drivers (nvidia-173xx) and I tried to run X but the mouse and keyboard did not work. I read the wiki and the hotplugging problem so I tried to use in the xorg.conf file the line option "AutoAddDevices" "False" but it didnt work, also I used nvidia-config, Xorg-configure, hwd -xa, hwd-x and it didn t work,
any advice? a posible solution?

That's all I would also try, if it doesn't work then I don't know what else you can try.
Mind you that if you add option "AutoAddDevices" "False" you need to configure more than what X -configure does output I believe, but things should still work although not exactly as you wanted.
I have noticed that with the latest xorg-server when you do X -config to try the xorg.conf you have just generated there is no mouse cursor and killing X will not work because that is now disabled by default, you should try to start your desktop environment to see if all is really working well.
If this doesn't work then I guess you will have to wait for someone that knows more than I do to help you ....

thanks for the answer, I solved it installing xf86-input-mouse/keyboard and xf86-input-evdev. I did not use a xorg.conf file, but also I generated it with nvidida-xconfig and its fine.
