arch linux with xfce

[shaun@zhaun.net]

In the anticipation i worked on getting my sd ready for the pi.  Since everyone has started getting their pis, and i have yet to get an email at mine is being shipped, i'll have to assume that mine will come in may/june.

Alot of this is repeats from other websites, i just wanted to make my own list of for the purpose remembering when i actually get my pi when it comes into focus for me again.

(based on the 4/18/12 arch release here on raspberrypi.org)

I'll be going with arch without a doubt.  It's as close to the old slackware i grew up with as possible (in terms of configuration).  I'd definatley love to hear some feedback from the lucky few that arch performs well and has all the drivers for the 3d/2d.

If anyone has some tips to get higher than 640x480 display via QEMU, i'd love to hear em and try em.

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf:Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection Will give 800x600 (which, AFAIK, is as good as it gets in qemu).
