Atom 330 xorg config
Hi,
Just installed Arch on a Atom 330 mini itx based system....D945GCLF2
Loaded Gnome and it looks awful!!
Off to search settings for xorg fonts etc...
Anyone else run Arch on an Atom board?

Re: Atom 330 xorg config
How does it look awful? Running it without xorg.conf here.

Re: Atom 330 xorg config
do you have the intel video driver installed yet?
xf86-video-intel
should be able to run fine without xorg.conf

Re: Atom 330 xorg config
I loaded hwd [not done an Arch install for years!!!] got a xorg.conf but found no keyboard or mouse so loaded xf86-mouse keyboard.... added dbus hal [added to group as well]
X loaded but fonts are not good, just looks awful
Will check xf86-video-intel

Re: Atom 330 xorg config
xf86-video-intel loaded, removed xorg.conf no xserver at all.... will reread wiki but am a little confused how it will work without xorg.conf?

Re: Atom 330 xorg config
you might need some fontsets:
ttf-bitstream-vera
ttf-dejavu
ttf-ms-fonts
and some cairo filters:

Re: Atom 330 xorg config
As litemotiv suggested gnome uses ttf-ms-fonts if installed, so you may be wanting them. If you're not happy with the size of fonts, you may append -dpi XX option to /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc.
One more thing: I suggest running X without xorg.conf if you have Intel GPU, hal should take care of graphic settings detection.
