It seems you have an Intel graphics card and that the driver does not want to start.
Have you read the page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel ? In particular you need to install the package xf86-video-intel and you need to enable KMS to run X.
Yes, I have read that page. I don't know what part of it you are suggesting is important and which I have failed to follow.
1. xf86-video-intel *is* installed.
How about the intel-dri package? If not, try installing that. (And then restarting X.)
I installed that, but it made no obvious difference.
FYI, and just to close this thread, I have given up trying to get X to work with arch on this machine; I have no idea why it wouldn't work properly (Windows, which was previously installed on it, worked fine). I have installed arch + X on a different machine, where it seems to work OK. Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
