xf86-video-sisimedia hasn't been rebuilt for xorg-server 1.13, that's why it doesn't work. You need to downgrade xorg to 1.12, or get a rebuild driver for xorg 1.13
See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31928
Oh, wish I had known that before upgrading. Never done a downgrade before, hope it's not too much of a hassle.
Edit: All done, wasn't difficult at all. Thanks for the help.

Have you tried xf86-video-sis?
xf86-video-sis doesn't work for my graphics card at all. xf86-video-sis671 from AUR works (at least did last time I tried) but it's just a patched sisimedia and hasn't been updated in a while anyway.
Edit: xf86-video-vesa works but that's not a solution...

I wanted to get the versions of some other packages, like xorg-server too, but you're right, this wasn't a smart way to do it.
pacman -Qs xf86 | grep "^local"
Edit: too slooooow....

Post the output of
pacman -Qs xorg | grep ^local
The error means you need to update your X drivers.
How do I do that? My system is up to date. The only thing I could do is add the testing repo but I don't know if it's a good idea.
Yes you can https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade#ARM
Edit: Are you running Arch in Virtualbox?
Will try that if I can't find a better solution. No, I'm not using Virtualbox.
Can't downgrade X as I don't have the old package in /var/lib/pacman/pkg

]]>(EE) module ABI major version (12) doesn't match the server's version (13)
Tried adding this to xorg.conf but that results in a segmentation fault:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "IgnoreABI"
EndSection
Can't downgrade X as I don't have the old package in /var/lib/pacman/pkg. Will post the full logs later.
