Yaourt and pacman work hand in hand, although to be honest, once I've installed yaourt I rarely need pacman. So if you compile and install with yaourt, like you showed, you'll be able to rip it out with pacman or yaourt later. I usually use <code>yaourt -Rcsn pkgname</code> to cut out a package, just because I like to carve away all the dependencies too, as well as configuration files. It helps if I'm troubleshooting something later. Yup. Yaourt and pacman work hand in hand, although to be honest, once I’ve installed yaourt I rarely need pacman.

Sorry if its a dumb question but i didnt know :) If so, i was think if uninstalling, and re-installing and compiling everything, atleast for the initial xorg etc to see if it helps.
