This is motherboard shared-RAM hardware, on an Aopen motherboard, VIA chipset. I have tried the the VESA, the fbdev, and the S3 Savage drivers; all of them fail (I installed them via pacman, thanks forum folks for posting that!). hwd fails in peculiar fashion:
/usr/bin/mkxcfg: line 293: 4867 Aborted lshwd -a -ox -m > $LISTFILE
I have been trying xorgconfig with all three of those drivers, no dice. In the case of the fbdev, /dev/fb0 is missing; the VESA doesn't work because it can't open three large memory areas; and when I try the Savage it says that DRI isn't enabled (what's DRI?).
Anyone know what to try next?

I run with the Savage driver on my laptop. It drastically reduced my CPU usage in X.
A short description of DRI.

Make sure you install libgl-dri via pacman.
I believe I also installed mesa.
Try making the following changes are made to your xorg.conf file:
Uncomment the load line so that dri loads.
# This loads the DRI module
Load "dri"
Section "Device"
Identifier "Savage Driver"
Driver "savage"
#VideoRam 65536
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
(identifier can be anything, so long as it's being called out properly in the Screen section, like below)
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
#Device "* Generic VESA compatible"
Device "Savage Driver"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
(at the end - uncomment this)
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Hope this helps.
