Having to much trouble with arch. What other distros do you recomend?

I've been trying to geet arch running flawlessly on my thinkpad x61 for the last month.
But I've run in to some problems that I can't solve.
The iwlwifi-4965-ucode drivers unstable and gives me kernelpanics. Tried to roll them back but nothing happend.
I'm having problems with my xorg. It worked flawlessly under kubuntu but in arch I get some strange lines when things moving horizontaly on my screen. Like the image is splitting into 2 pieces instead of one. Have been configuring my xorg for weeks without any result.
Feels like I need some other distro.
I like the whole from scratch idea.

I think you misunderstand what a linux distro is. There is no secret sauce that makes one distro better than the other. They all have the same ingredients. What make distros different is how they put the same ingredients together.
I am assuming you went here http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/lenovo.html and looked at this http://pi-ist-genau-3.de/?page_id=344
And I am assuming you looked at this too (regarding your wireless) http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10984
tried the xorg.conf from "debian on lenovo x61" and its a dualscreen configuration. And I actually had a 1680x1050 samsung syncmaster standing in a closet so I plugged it in and tried to play movies @ both screens and I get the same result on both screens no matter what mediaplayer I run. So something must be wrong with my intel driver?
My xorg.conf before I tested the dualscreen xorg, witch gives me the same problem.
Using xf86-video-intel driver.
And about the wifidrivers. A bug is allways a bug no matter if it's known or not. Still a problem.

CanI downgrade back to the previous, non4.0 version? I am having too much trouble with 4.0

How can I downgrade back to the previous, non4.0 version? I am having too much trouble with 4.0, such as:
1) cannot save multible tabs in bookmarks
2) 4.0 is not faster, perhaps even slower
3) crashes often, especially when I scroll through my emails in Yahoo email.
4) Moved the "stop loading" and "refresh" buttons to the right, ala MS Internet Explorer. I liked your old location better.
Thank you,

Why am I having so much trouble downloading ios 5?

I can not download the ios 5 update to my Mom's iphone 3gs. I have tried from itunes. I have tried direct download. I have downloaded and used the internet download manager.

I did mine without any problems, but I am having so much trouble with hers. I hope someone can help me. I appreciate the help in this matter.

I have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8. Many of my appliatins will not work.. HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

I have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8. Many of my applications will not work.. HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

Before you revert anything try this:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Next time don't post something like "nothing but trouble." Tell us exactly what the trouble is and provide any additional information such as error messages.

Why am I having so much trouble installing Flash Player 17?

Hello,
I have installed and updated Flash Player since 1999, but never with so much trouble as with the latest version- 17.
My pc runs Windows 7 64-bit with Internet Explorer 11. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Adobe website with no luck.
I am logged in as administrator, but when I go to a website the permission message pops up at the bottom of the page, as normal after updating,
"This webpage wants to run the following add-on; ' Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated'.
Whether I click on Allow or click on the dropdown and click on Allow for all websites, does not matter. It will not work and the permission bar stays up.
Can somebody please help??
Thanks,
Dake

Often a Restart and a Reset will resolve these issues...
iPhone Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
