X wont work, failed to load i810, fbdev. [SOLVED]

Hello!

Ive been using Arch on my stationary computer for about 6 months now and i´ve never ran into that much trouble, untill now.

Im trying to install Arch on my Lg T1 Express laptop, it has a Intel GMA950 gpu and im at at total loss when it comes to X.

I have installed the following packages.

pacman -S libgl
xorg
xf86-input-evdev
xf86-video-intel
xf86-input-synaptics
xf86-input-keyboard
xf86-video-fbdev

I manged to get the three xterm windows once but the keyboard and touchpad where not working. So i checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it complained about not finding the module fbdev. So i isntalled xf86-video-fbdev and now it wont even give me the three xterm-windows..

At the moment im stuck at this error message:

Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)

Fatal Server error:
Cannot run in frambuffer mode. Please specify bisIDs for all frambugger devices.

edit: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Cannot locate a core pointer device
Cannot locate a core keyboard device

Great...

edit2: The legacy drivers wont work either.
What am i doing wrong?

Are hal and dbus installed and is hal running (via rc.conf)?

Also, do you use an xorg.conf?

If I'm not mistaken the module provided by the xf86-video-intel package is called 'intel', not 'i810'.

Yes hal and dbus are installed and hal is running via rc.vonf.

I am not using any xorg.conf but i have tried to use one via X -configure but that didnt help either.

pressh: Yeah i know, and the log file says it has loaded 'intel' and that i has failed to load i810.. Im puzzled.

similar set up on a IBM Thinkpad R31 and I use the "intel-legacy" driver, i810 has been depreciated

This error line is perfectly normal. This is due to module probing when X starts without an xorg.conf.

Can you please post the entire Xorg.0.log after starting X without any xorg.conf?

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

 for help. 
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

That is my xorg.0.log.. Without any xorg.conf..

Any ideas?

I'm glad you figured it out.
