I'm in the middle of installing Arch and had just configured xorg.conf properly for x to function.
I then updated the system using "pacman -Syu" and can no longer start x, xinit/startx only returns an error messege. Here's the log file and xorg.conf:

Please help me with this (I might need something step-by-step.) and Thanks in advance.

Xorg isn't finding your video driver or screens. Try adding those into your xorg.conf.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
EndSection

that wouldnt be a generic soultion i gues... but a better way is to start the system to init level 3 ( you can do that in grub boot editing to ro 3)
from there , login and sudo nvidia-xconfig (provided you are using nvidia)
or perhaps running X-configure with sudo would be another viable option

Hold on...where did the OP say he is using nvidia? The log looks like he's in VirtualBox...
edit:
Here's a hint. You don't have the guest additions installed.

Correct, I am using VirtualBox. I'm using VirtualBox on a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook S7010 (laptop).

pacman -S extra/nvidia
did you try this? Anyway it can't find your video driver, so if you have a nvidia card, install the nvidia driver and so on...

Yes thanks Cagnulein, it's also quite flattering but nvidia isn't even in my dreams. ;(

I think I need to install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11. But with all the repos enabled, pacman still can't find it.
I have installed all of the packages that show up under "pacman -Ss virtualbox" and I have added all the modules. X does not start successfully, these are the errors:
"(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo.so
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No drivers available.
Fatal server error:
no screens found"

Try to reinstall the virtualbox additions
