Arch Linux Video Drivers over VM
I'm trying to install the GUI for my Arch Linux VM so i can use the graphical console to help ease my way into learning Arch better (I'm coming from Ubuntu and FreeBSD so i've catching the learning curve)
Well the install of the actually xorg went fine but i'm not sure which of these video drivers to use and i know better than to just randomly install things i have no idea what the outcome is
Here is my putty session
[root@li202-203 home]# pacman -S xorg-twm xterm xorg-xclock
