st: Factor analysis and idiosyncretic component

Dear Statalist Member,
I have two variables (X and Y as time series) and want to run factor
analysis to get a common factor and idiosyncretic factors (components)
for each series.
My questions:
1) Is "factor score" under predict what I need for common factor?
2) How do I construct idiosyncretic factors for X and Y?
If I do construct 'epsilon_x = 'X - mu_x - L*F', where epsilon_x is
idio. com. for X, L is factor leading coefficient, and F is factor
score, then I don not get 'epsilon_x' and F being orhogonal.
Thanks for your help.
