Hi
I'm using Arch for the first time, i was used some other linux distros, without so many manual configs....well no pain no gain
My problem is that, after i have done the install, i enter directly in to X, but i don't have keyboard or mouse to do the login, i read that the hal deamon is not configured, my question is, how do i manage to login in text mode before it enters X, so i can change settings in text mode?
Thx ppl

edit your grub listing at bootup and put a "3" at the end of the line.

A couple suggestions.
Are you running the sshd daemon? If so, log in from another computer and edit.
Or, boot into runlevel 1 (Single user). When GRUB starts, Select the edit mode, and add 1 to the end of your kernel command line. This will place you in "Single user mode" in which you can edit the configuration.
Or, boot from the install media and edit
I suggest you configure using multiple run levels using the inittab method as described in:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Add … tab_Method
This way you can start in either run level 3 (command line, multiuser) or 5 (GUI)
