yea, xorg.conf can be pretty touchy. one wrong word, and..! yikes.
i guess pacman is okay, but portage is still a zillion times better. i just don't know whether to stay with arch, or go back to gentoo, on this machine. ubuntu goes on my laptop because so far it's been the only distro able to figure out my laptop's hardware straight away. it's all pretty standard shit, but attempting to install other distros has been nothing but problematic. suse was close, but it was still a pain to get x working correctly. and i wasn't a huge fan of suse, though it did have it's strong points. but that was suse9. maybe (open)suse10 is an improvement? i haven't bothered to investigate that.
