[Solved] Dell Mini 10: no screens found

Hello people,

First time Arch user here, but not new to Linux.

Installing Arch Linux went without any problems on my Dell Mini 1010. But for the last 3 days I'm trying to get X working.
I have used to following pages trying to get it to work:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Mini_10v
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Dell_Ins … /xorg.conf

All without any luck. The error log can be found here:
http://pastebin.ca/2360086

That is without an xorg.conf and with addition of:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-gpudriver.conf
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Card0"
        Driver     "intel"
EndSection

lsmod shows the i915 modules are loaded.

Also I tried the vesa driver, but that gives me a flashing blue / black screen and the laptop needs to be hard rebooted.

Anyone know what I'm missing? Or maybe someone with the same laptop willing to share their Xorg config?

Thanks!

Your hardware would be nice to know, so post the output of lspci -nn. A quick google tells me you have Poulsbo graphics. If that's the case, you're screwed. You have two options: the simple one - install xf86-video-modesetting; and the not-simple one - the EMGD driver. You will probably not succeed with the not-simple one.

Thanks for your answer. Here;'s the output of lspci -nn:

I did try Bodhi Linux and Fedora and had no problems with xorg, so that's why  I think I'm missing something.
