Don't forget to "pacman -Syu" every once in a while.  I didn't for the first
month, and it cost me an overnight download and install.

Arch's X11 "xorg" server seems to have problems with Intel Corporation
82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device.  Unfortunately,
that's what my box has, so I'm using it in VESA mode to avoid these
weird hard lock-ups that require a power cycle to reset.
