XORG CONFIGURATION

See the Beginners Guide for details

using the ATI catalyst driver

pacman -S catalyst

using the open source driver

You have the choice between the radeon and radeonhd driver. However you need a new DRM Kernel Module to get direct rendering. The new DRM module should be included in Kernel 2.6.26 so either updgrade or get the libdrm-git package from the AUR. You should also install XOrg Server from git using the xorg-server-git package from the AUR. (this will take some time). Dont forget xf86-input-mouse-git and xf86-input-keyboard-git.

Use the xf86-video-ati-git^AUR video driver from the AUR. For more information and driver updates visit http://www.phoronix.com.

SOUND

Works out of the box. Don't forget to add your user to the audio group.

Check here for more info about how to set up sound: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA_Setup

ACCESS TO DEVICES

Add user to groups (given you have created a user):

    gpasswd -a username video
    gpasswd -a username optical
    gpasswd -a username storage
    gpasswd -a username audio

WIRELESS LAN

Madwifi

The Atheros AR5007 currently doesnt work out of the box. but it works using a patch. Read
Read http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679 for details.

---

The easy way:

Please download the following Package from AUR: Madwifi with new HAL in AUR

You need to unrar the Package, type makepkg and then install the new build package (pacman -A madwifi-xxxxx-i686.tar.gz) Or (using yaourt) yaourt -S madwifi-newhal-git.

Now your wlan card should be recognised. Maybe you should also blacklist the ath5k kernel module by adding "!ath5k" into the modules section in /etc/rc.conf

---

A bit more complicated but also working (only for 32bit systems):

The madwifi package with included patch can be downloaded from: http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz
After downloading:
Untar the package

tar xvf madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz

change into the madwifi folder

cd madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007

compile madwifi

make

install

make install

then add ath_pci and wlan to your modules section in rc.conf

Ndiswrapper

ETHERNET

add "powernow_k8" to the modules section in rc.conf
