Re: Fatal IO error 11 while configuring X

Have you actually configured your xorg.conf as per wiki?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … uring_xorg
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … Fxorg.conf

And could you post your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log using pastebin? (http://pastebin.archlinux.org/)
