The card is ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE],
the driver is the -ati one.
Somehow the problem seems to have solved itself. I've
been using the machine all day, rebooted a few times to
see if that would make a difference, but everyhting just
works... :-)
There's no xorg.conf, and input devices are from hal.
Errors in the log file are:
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
and more insteresting:
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch.
[dri] radeon kernel module version is 2.0.0 but version 1.17.0 or newer is needed.
[dri] Disabling DRI.

Seems like an excellent idea in case the problem returns.
Overall I'm *very happy* with ArchLinux so far. Almost
everything I need is installed now, and I'm only at
2.7G disk space used. Next weekend the laptop (IBM R51)
will get the same refreshing treatment.
Ciao,
