[SOLVED] Problem with Macbook Air 4,1 and X (server is already active)

Hi, i have succesfully installed Arch using the latest Archboot64 iso (2012.04), with GPT and grub2_uefi_x68_64.

I have installed a basic lxde environment, but xorg goes blank, waits 5 seconds and fails with this message:

Server is already active for display 0.

If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.

xf86-video-intel is installed, and there is no .x0-lock in /tmp.

Also, there are some warnings about fbdev and vesa. I have installed xf86-video-fbdev and xf86-video-vesa, but fails again.

Then I put this trick in etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fbdev.conf:

Section "Device"
   Driver "fbdev"
   Identifier "card0"
EndSection

without success.

My xorg.conf is empty. lsmod reports i915, intel_agp, drm, drm_kms_helper and others.

Any ideas? If anybody has a Mac with a running xorg, what's in your /xorg.conf.d?

Never mind, my fault.

This do the trick:

startx -- :1
