I have not tried Arch yet. I would imagine it is just as easy to install as Angstrom or Ubuntu. If I can't get this screen to stay on I might have to give it a whirl.
BTW there is no xorg.conf in the Ubuntu distribution. I tried using "X --configure -config xorg.conf -configdir /etc/X11" to have X generate the xorg.conf but it bombs out stating something about the no drivers available. I will create one the manual way and see if that works.
