Hello,
I'm playing with Arch64 in a Virtualbox environment. Installed with core-2009.2 ISO file. After installing all the necessary packages, I did 'Xorg -configure' to generate the xorg.xonf file but when I started X, I got no keyboard or mouse input. Any clues?
Thanks,

Can you post your xorg.conf?

1) You have hal installed and running on guest? Ensure this
2) Install guest additions on guest.
3) This is the xorg.conf that you need for guest:
Section "Device"
Identifier "vboxvideo0"
Driver "vboxvideo"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "vboxmouse0"
Driver "vboxmouse"
EndSection
No more settings are needed.

@djgera: I didn't even know that arch has an guest account. Is the 'arch' account?
I've tried your changes in my xorg.conf but Xorg didn't like them, saying no driver are available.

lang2 "guest" in terms of virtual machine is the OS that run inside the VM, and "host" is the OS that run outside the virtual machine. Not a guest user
No driver avail, because you need to install the Guest additions. Go to menu "devices -> install guest additions" in the screen of running vm
now login as root, and type for example
mount /media/dvd -o exec
/media/dvd/VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run
reboot the guest OS and try again
Remember again, ensure that hal is running.

It must be me: it still doesn't work. After installing the vbox addition and adding the previously mentioned driver options, the mouse works ..... eh ... better. It does move around and twm does change forcus when it moves around. But left and right button does nothing. Keyboard behavior hasn't changed at all: nothing. I've verified that hal is running. Also, I read the wiki page and found the "AutoAddDevices" "False" option which didn't do anything.

if you use the ---> "AutoAddDevices" "False" <--- then you have to install keyboard and mouse drivers (don't remember the name in pacman and i'm not on my computer).

I've removed the "AutoAddDevices" "False" thing and it works now! I must have missed something. Thanks for all the helps.

Glad to hear you got it fixed, had a similiar problem and did the same thing
