hello folks

i got a brand new packardbell dotM netbook , how i use arch in my worksation i decided to install arch in the netbook
every goes fine exept when i want to configure Xorg.

i installed the xf86-video-intell package, and tryed to make a "Xorg -configure" that work with the screen ( by the way the screen is very special http://www.tecnologiait.com.ar/?p=7315 the standart resolution is 1204x600 !!

what recommend me do to guys?, use Xorg -configure don't work ( even show tvm) , and intel doesn't provide a tool like the nvidia-xconfig,
or should i write my own xorg.conf file?

ohh yes and could you make me a suggestion for a DE, i tried kdemod in the netbook ( i am kde-lover) but without a big Gpu kdemod goes slow, which DE to do recommend for a netbook, i am between E17 and LXDE

thanks in advance

Hello Slacknatcher!

You can port a working configuration file, from another working distribution, or from livecd like Chakra, Ubuntu, Sushe.

Can it work if you try without any xorg.conf file? Can you try out another drivers, like binary nvidia from nvidia, or opensource nv? And in the last case vesa?

Xorg 1.6 doesn't need a xorg.conf file in many cases. And if you do want one you can just add the things that don't get set or autodetected correctly.

"but i think that is the power of the proceesor"

What does it mean exactly ? Is it solved then ?
