I had about 2 hours to test it, here are my results: 1) First I just got a hard freeze, it looks like it won't start with my intel card unless I have KMS enabled. So in the grub commandline I had to replace vga=791 with i915.modeset=1 to avoid the hard freeze. This is not a big problem, the default can be changed in the kernel config if we want so. 2) I had to add: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" EndSection to get my mouse working again. This isn't a big deal, either, we can disable hal in the xorg-server FB. 3) At this point I got X to start and I had mouse. Now I switched back to tty1 and I got a hard freeze again. This can be fixed by upgrading the xf86-video-intel driver to 2.8.99.902. After the upgrade, I still can't get a console after starting X, but at least I can switch back without a freeze. This is a bigger problem, basically now I no longer have a console at all. Do you have one? 4) The keyboard is weird, the arrow keys are not working, nor altgr. For example the 'down' arrow key is the same as the 'enter' one. And this is a blocker as well. I tried to change the driver from kbd to evdev, but the same bug still occurs. Here is the xorg.conf which works fine for me with current: http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/docs/config/xorg.conf
