I for the life of me cannot get the xf86-video-intel driver to load. Vesa will work but without the out the correct resolution.
This is my video output... lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
I tried adding...
Add the intel_agp and i915 modules to the MODULES line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES="intel_agp i915"
And regenerate the initramfs:
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
Still no results...what am I missing? My processor is an Intel i3 on a Toshiba laptop.

Is it supported? http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html

That is a good question because my video output only says Intel Integrated Graphics Controller, no number.

Core i3 integrated graphics is definitely supported and works very well here (so well I might skip buying a dedicated graphic card). What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? Does KMS work, as in do you have a framebuffer console in you screen's native resolution?
@Karol: Haven't read that article yet, but I did immediately noticed it's more than half a year old. A lot happens in 6 months when it comes to Linux graphics.

I know the article isn't new, but often things don't improve much e.g. support for old Intel cards. I found this article and thought I'll share :-)

Yep, for very old Intel cards (8xx), the situation is quite bad. But the Core i3 integrated graphics is their newest and is actually quite impressive for being an integrated solution. Provides even h264 hardware decoding.
