I have just run Arch Linux for 3 days now, and I'm already loving it. But there is one problem. I have no permission to use hardware accelration. Only root have that feature. In Gentoo I could just add my user to the group "video", but I can't find a group named "video".
So how can my user use hardware accelration?

I'm confused... what is "hardware acceleration"? do you mean DRI? if you're talking about DRI and have an ATI card, you need to add the standard:
Section "dri"
Mode 0666
EndSection
to your xorg.conf
also, arch should have a video group... have you done a "pacman -Syu" since you installed?

I have use pacman -Syu
But I will try to add mode 066 to my xorg.conf.
