X Errors on Intel Brookdale video card.
So I install Arch, get Alsa working, and install X. I use xorg-configure to make xorg.conf. I put HAL in the Daemons, I start HAL, I start x with xorg.conf and get a blank screen. I hit CTRL+ALT+Backspace and nothing happens. I hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and get back to console, X is still running and says:
Failed to initialize GEM. Falling back to classicI delete xorg.conf, reboot and try again. It fails again. I go on google. Nothing helps. I would post my xorg.conf, but since I'm on another computer I'll only do it if neccessary.
Personally, I'd rather be back in Hobbiton.

Re: X Errors on Intel Brookdale video card.
I'm using the intel legacy driver btw. The non-legacy gave me weird effects on my last install.
UPDATE: I tried hwd -xa. I got a really big and weird xorg.conf, but it looks better than the previous one. I tried X and still got a blank screen, but could not get out and had to do a hard reset.

Did you add this to your xorg.conf ?
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "False"
EndSection

Re: X Errors on Intel Brookdale video card.
lets take apart the issues
screen - try to start without any modes specified in xorg.conf - just 'intel' and thats it
keyboard and mouse - try to use the drivers that dont use evdev. see here

Ok, I removed the screens section out of xorg.conf (after a backup of course), if that's what you mean. It now says there were no screens found and FATAL ERROR'ed. So I removed the Screen heading in the ServerLayout section. Now I get the same GEM message. BTW, CTRL+ALT+Backspace works after adding the DontZap False option.
