kmsro: driver missing

Mesa uses kmsro to support display controllers paired with Mali GPUs.

From: https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/panfrost.html

If you're on ARM, please use the proper Support Channel: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg Startx Failed

There's a stray blank in the second pacman command.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg Startx Failed

... it error ...

Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

Depending on what you mean by "it" that is not true at all.  Xorg ran just fine and exited successfully.  Whatever is in your xinitrc failed and errored out immediately.  So post your xinitrc.

Also, there is the obvious but unaddressed error: install a font!  If you are indeed trying to run dwm, it requires a font for it's status bar and appears to error out due to not finding a font.  This would explain all the current symptoms.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg Startx Failed

<EDIT>
Modesetting is indeed loaded...

[182009.094] (II) LoadModule: "modesetting"
[182009.094] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so
[182009.095] (II) Module modesetting: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

</EDIT>
There are a lot of errors ([EE]) about video drivers... I suspect something's wrong with the Virtual Machine's GPU.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg Startx Failed

That is not a font.  Really, just install a font.  Everything else in this thread is not relevant to the present error.  If you don't have any specific preference ttf-dejavu is a good start.

Note, though, that many here will say your xinitrc is "broken" as it fails to source some allegedly required bits from /etc.  Please see the wiki on xinitrc.  However, while that might cause minor issues with some specific client programs, it's not related to the present errors.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg Startx Failed

That's not a font, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/an … pro-fonts/

type dwm

and also the last link below (but that won't cause dwm to fail)

Another problem is that you seem to have a "Cirrus Logic GD 5446" what is a 2MB "GPU" from the mid 90ies…

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg Startx Failed

Thanks , install a fonts like "ttf-dejavu" make everything is OK

And this is a cloud server, so "Cirrus Logic GD 5446" ......
