Yeah I don't know how it had anything to do with compat but yes, Xorg is solved. I just don't get how I install and use the compat drivers without breaking my system. I have that fixed channel -1 problem that a lot of people get when using airmon-ng and I've tried a few scripts but it seems this is the only way to fix that problem.

I havent fixed that myself either, the totally retarded thing is that on my other machine(running same kernel etc) it does work.
The compat-wireless in the arch repos has been depreciated for some time now and I dont know if there is a solution up to this point.
In fact the reason is a change in mainline kernel since 2.x which still hasnt been fixed, that broke the monitor interface stuff.
Recently I was looking for a solution and did some driver compilation, quit doing that for some reason, bad thing as it was going somewhere.

Thats what I would recommend, to find a proper driver and compile it.
The burning issue is that we archers are so close to the kernel releases that we often suffer backward compat issues.

It seems that all of the different modules and drivers I need to get the Alfa to work are deprecated. Found out recently the the rtl8187 module has become deprecated not too long ago too.

Yeah indeed.
This card is overrated, its good hardware but the drivers suck , also on windows.
Realtek just doesnt code proper drivers for linux unlike intel for example.

Very true. Realtek has given me my fair share of headaches for sure.
