Since a recent system update, I haven't been able to successfully boot into X. It keeps crashing and returning to a login prompt. I haven't made any hardware changes and the configuration that is recommended for the (barely supported) video chipset I have is supposedly properly configured too. I have tried starting X with the following settings...all of which fail, with X crashing and returning to a tty console with a login prompt:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel 82845G/GL [Brookdale -G]/GE"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel 82845G/GL [Brookdale -G]/GE"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "DRI" "true"

Maybe it's https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36202
Downgrade xf86-video-intel and see if it helps.

I've changed my settings to the following with no apparent problems (so far)...marking as solved:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "NoAccel" "True"
EndSection

This means you're using UXA.
What happens if you drop
Option "NoAccel" "True"
?

If I drop that option, then the display looks distorted and unusable. I can't seem to get SNA to work correctly, so as long as that option makes UXA display correctly, I'll live with it.

I was curious, because I have
$ lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
and I've been having issues with it for awhile https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=100812
I decided to downgrade the drivers and keep using sna.
