Hi,
after a long time Arch Linux runs on my Macbook!
Now I need an X-Server. After a while it runs too.
But I can't load i3.
When I starting it with:
xinit i3
i3 display: "ERROR: No outputs found via RandR, disabling"
When I use xrandr in commandline, it show's:
"Can't open display"
How can I fix it?

When you say you get that error in commandline, do you mean a tty without X running? If so, that is the expected result.
Not that this is part of a solution, but it may refocus on the problem: X/i3 is failing to start properly, this may not actually be related to xrandr.
As a test, have you / can you try starting the twm session described in the beginners guide? Does that work?
Then please post your ~/.xinitrc.

Yes I can start the twm.
I have not .xinitrc
I try the xinit command on commandline. (xinit i3)
The error shows in an X Window ... it looks like an i3 window.

There's the problem. Create an ~/.xinitrc.
