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 yaourt -Rcsn pkgname 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.

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.
