Hi there,
i have had followed the good how-to from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso. All is OK, except the subject of my post. I use a archlinux i686 in vmware to build it without X.
You can see what's happening, it's better than my English :d (xfce4)
The part with the red lines on the right is the missed part of the screen. The green arrow is my pendrive.
My monitor is known to be able to display at least 1024*768 on the full screen.
If I try GUI tools to resize, that's not possible ( I'm already on maximum 1024*768)
If I run
xrandr -s 1024*768
I get :
$ xrandr -s 1024*768
Size index 1024 is too large, there are only 2 sizes
xrandr alone :
$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 0.0*
800x600 61.0
My Xorg.0.log is there : http://pastie.org/1281360
I have no xorg.conf
Moreover, if I do ctlr+alt+fN I get a white screen and no login appears, but I can type some commands (without seeing what I type)
If I test the pendrive on another pc : eeepc, all is ok.
Hope someone can understand what's going on

Try to load all drivers by "pacman -S xorg-video-drivers"
This might solve the lack of a proper video driver.
In case you expect to use the pendrive only with that computer then you may load Nvidia proprietary drivers.

Thanks TheSaint,
I was looking for complicated things when the solution is straightforward
nvidia and xorg-video-drivers package is installed now...
w00t!

There's still a problem, now my EEEPC Asus 1005HA refuse to start X with the error :
Message: "No devices detected"
Xorg.0.log is there -> http://pastie.org/1283087
Xorg try to load nvidia now.
Maybe I need to script which module should be loaded by probing lspci output early in the boot process, and maybe try to figure out how knoppix and such handle that, or maybe someone have a simplest solution ?

Try blacklisting nouveau
Offline
Something like this ?
var=$(lspci | grep VGA)
case "$var" in
*nvidia*) <something>;;
*intel*945) <something>;;
*) echo >&2 "unsupported card"
esac
If yes, when ? I think /etc/rc.local file is too late maybe. Should I plan to do it in ramfs ?

Well for netbook you may like to try out the netbook kernel version. Many efforts have been spent to that netbook
