I have done a new install using the 2009-02 install cd

Then sync and updated the system with pacman

install alsa and the xorg

I have installed hal and it is running

When I start xorg I get no "X" on the screen.

Thanks

What is your ~/.xinitrc ?

I don't have one as this is a new install and I am just setting up Xorg for the first time

Do you mean it is a gray screen? Or does X crash. It might also have to do with the window manager you use

It is just a black screen and no there is no window manager. It happens when you you newly install Xorg. As in Xorg -configure X -config /root/xorg.conf.new Happens with or without a config file. The up side is that the keyboard still works so I can ALT F1 and kill it :)
