Gateway MX3215 Notebook configuration problems.

Greetings Arch Linux users, I have this notebook and I am having hard time with it :-\ I received it as a gift, and since windows is not really my best liked OS I decided to install linux on this one too, I tried many flavor, and decided to put arch in it in the end.
The problem is: i tried to make it work with no success, I cant manage to make X work properly, not even the wireless connection. But I want to solve the X problem first.
I asked help in the italian forum too, after 7 pages I have decided to see if someone here have the same notebook, since gateway is not popular in Italy, maybe I can find someone who have it here.

Thanks for reading

EDIT:

Well... after almost a week on this first problem looks like I solved just after comin here, this forum must be a luck bringer :-\
Just in case someone else need help:

Re: Gateway MX3215 Notebook configuration problems.

What is your wifi adapter anyways?
