[Solved] Trouble with Xorg

Hey chaps

I've been having trouble getting X working in Arch with my new computer. The basic configures suggested in the beginner's guide didn't work at all, and after installing Ubuntu and stealing the xorg.conf file from there, I am still unable to get it to recognise my mouse or keyboard.

Is there something I can copy over from the Ubuntu /etc/ that will help Arch find these peripherals or am I just being an idiot?

Thanks in advance

Re: [Solved] Trouble with Xorg

Upon closer inspecion I had forgotten to add the keyboard map under InputDevices when trying that.

Thank you.
