[SOLVED] Intel Graphics not working: Xorg error: failed to load module

Note: I solved the particular problem of getting anything to work just after writing this. I'm posting it anyway for reference purposes.

Hi,

I've got  a new Laptop (MSI GP70) which has a Hybrid graphic configuration:

• Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (Intel Core i5-4200M)

• Nvidia GT 740M

First I checked the graphics with an Ubuntu Live System and it worked (not sure which GPU(s) was/were running, but Ubuntus X server worked).
But I can't get Xorg to work under Arch which I just installed.
First I tried it with the nvidia driver only, like I do on normal nividia-only systems but it didn't work.
Then I tried Bumblebee to use both GPUs, but couldn't get it to work either.
Now I wanted a simplest configuration to work, removed everything again and just installed "xf86-video-intel".
But Xorg won't start: Xorg.0.log.
What seems strange to me are especially those lines:

(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
(EE) Failed to load module "intel" (loader failed, 7)

...although "mesa-libgl" is installed.

I didn't do any configuration, the only Xorg configuration files are those that reside by default int /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d (10-evdev, 10-quirks).
I searched quite a long time but couldn't find anything that would help.

Solution: Reinstall "mesa-libgl".

I wonder whether it was the same reason why the other approaches did not work (I remember similar errors).
I'll update the thread when I'll come back to it (getting it to work or not).
