What source base the Arch Linux Xorg build from?

I need a complete package of X windows system installed. No idea which directory the Arch Linux X11 install to.
Only find  below with "find"
/usr/share/X11
/usr/lib/ghostscript/8.64/X11.so
/usr/lib/X11
/usr/include/X11
/var/cache/man/X11R6
/etc/X11

So I try to get some souce by http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Releases/7.4
I found its x server is only 1.5.1 and Arch Linux is 1.6.1(show when pacman -S xorg)

I really confused.
Actually what I need is pretty simple, need a xdm and xdm-configure to enable XDMCP so that I can remote connecct to X.
(I tried KDE and GNOME, it doesn't work because X)

Anybody can give me a clue?

Thanks very much,
Mike

All the xorg packages are in the extra repo. Start by installing the xorg package group, and then add additional drivers/modules as required.

For full details, go here; http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg

Yes, All X forward working on ubuntu release but not Arch Linux fresh install. Need configuration on X for XDMCP. But didn't find a way yet with what installed.

ygao, no offense intended, but it appears you know very little about Arch. Please consult the wiki. I'd suggest you start with the beginner's guide.

That is not. I agree that is true. I am still learning Arch Linux. It is really frustrated but that is why of learning.

Please consult the wiki.

The Arch Wiki has become simply amazing.. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
