Aren't there three cases? - arch is using X11R7 on the to-be-installed version and (old) installed system is already using X11R7 (easy) - same as above, but both systems with X11R6 (easy as well) - arch is using X11R7 on the to-be-installed version, but we need to upgrade from a previous X11R6 version (basically impossible without user interaction, AFAICT - I would go for an empty Xorg install and warn the user that all modifications of the old config file, including keyboard settings, font pathes etc., have to be merged manually) Martin
