Juan,

Quick update: I´ve got the keyboard working... somewhat, on Arch now. But I also have the same trouble as stalker, with the fn key and numerals and such not working.

Still looking into that but it won´t be before tomorrow at best, that I can dedicate some time on it. Hopefully it´s just a matter now of locales and xbindings

On another note: I intended to install illume on Arch, as a temporary workaround. Illume needs to be compiled from svn afaik but Arch won´t let me install the build system.

code:
pacman -S abs

result:
abs package not found, searching for group...
Error: 'abs': not found in sync db

Any idea why it might be saying that? Of course I googled but it seems to be a rare problem.

Last question: have you got a webbrowser installed on Arch? What would you advise installing?
