Listmates,

After the latest kernel update, I cannot start X for the Arch box I have that 
has an onboard intel graphics card. (Dell 280GX sff) The errors are:

02:31 nirvana:/srv/www/download/Archlinux/bugs/supersff> grep "(EE)" 
Xorg.0.log
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)

Obviously it is complaining about the intel i810 and framebuffer modules. Why? 
This box has always worked fine with the 915 module. It looks like all the 
normal intel modules are loaded:

02:34 supersff:~> lsmod | grep "intel\|915"
i915                  231880  0
drm                   156160  1 i915

agpgart                32660  2 drm,intel_agp

	Any ideas? I'm not even sure where to begin on this one. This box doesn't 
have an xorg.conf and the defaults have always worked just fine. What could 
have changed?

	Full Xorg.0.log and pacman.log are here:

	Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
