do you have xf86-input-evdev installed?

To be honest it sounds like you are in a bit of a pickle. Why not start afresh and install everything frm scratch following the beginners guide? I am no expert but have managed to install Arch on 4 different PCs (different make, graphics card, processor etc.) and each time it has worked. The trick is to follow the guide, read, think and take your time. Do everything in the correct order and make sure you don't miss any steps. It will work.

AdrelineJunk.

I don't have this installed but pacman doesn't find this file.

Copy and paste the output. But I really think you should reinstall from scratch.

Hello Speedvin,

I did that.
Now only the three config/hal errors remain and still no X as a normal user.
As root startx stars twm I think.

But how can I follow the beginners guide without installing X.

if this is a new install and therefore you have no data then a reinstall will take an hour tops. You will then know exactly what you have and haven't done and troubleshooting any issues will be far easier.

Hello,

I did a reinstall as stated in the beginners guide and i have X working.
