Well I've never really configured a xorg.conf manually, and I ran the Xorg -configure script to generate a test xorg.conf. When I test the file it locks X up and I have to revert to the console using ctrl+alt+F1
I would like to see if anyone could post their xorg.conf for an Intel 945GME (or just GM) so I can test for performance. This is on an ASUS eee pc 1002HA.
I'm currently running the legacy Intel xf86 driver on KDE, as the latest 2.7.1.1 causes some graphical corruption with compositing enabled.
Thanks in advance
I also noticed that the eee pc wiki has grown tremendously since I installed Arch (which was still very recent), and I see some info on configuring xorg.conf using a tool called hwd...however when I run the following command I don't see the package:
sudo pacman -Sy hwd
or even
sudo pacman -Ss hwd
I'm not sure why I can't get it using pacman....I added the eee pc repo to my pacman.conf and synced before search also.

I use Gnome and Compiz, and the system is very fluid. With KDEmod woks good, but not so fluid when i use Kwin effects (i prefer use compiz with Kde).

Thank you! I will give it a shot. Someone mentioned that the problem may be that udev is managing the input devices....however I'm not sure how to divert that to X. I've never configured it manually, on other distros it just works (however I like having to manually configure everything in Arch because it adds more control.)
Offline
Ok I tested yours and got the same results...........I bet it's due to udev handling the input devices. I'm not really sure how to change this so I'll have to look into it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is my "ServerFlags" section, maybe it make the thing more clear to you
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
Anyway, in the xorg.conf file superchango posted, you have the key, just uncomment the "ServerFlags" section, the "AutoAddDevices" option setted "false" do the trick. Remember to configure sections for your devices.

I have a 945GM and it is working fine with no xorg.conf whatsoever.

Mine works decently without a xorg.conf, but I wondered if I could get better performance with one. It may not...........
Interestingly I tried the latest Intel driver and I don't see the bug that I experienced previously (screen flickers with different windows images while using alt+tab with the 'present windows' desktop effect.)

Oh, okay... well, fwiw, I did at one point have this hardware working rather well with a customized xorg.conf, UXA enabled among other things. But the difference just isn't noticeable for me (wmii/urxvt/uzbl) so I didn't save it when I last reinstalled.

I'm trying to get compositing to run on my Acer Aspire One D150. Superchango's xorg.conf posted above is showing the best performance for me at the moment. However, Gnome Do still reports that compositing isn't running.
Wiki states that compositing for 945gme is activated by default...what gives?

Yea I don't even run a xorg.conf on my netbook in KDE and compositing works fine.

i can run it fine w/o a conf file, but compisiting is needed for gnome do and awn i believe.
