Xorg crashes after upgrading kernel - Intel GPU - thinkpad x240

I am on a thinkpad x240

Last time I tried to upgrade my kernel, Xorg couldn't start properly. So I rolled back to the previous version since I did not have time to deal with it at the time.
So today, about 1 year later I figured I wanted to try upgrading the kernel again, to see if the issues solved themselves. They did not.

The kernel that works for me is: 3.15.7-1-ARCH


After upgrading to  4.0.4-1-1-ARCH I tried:
Adding i915.modeset=1 to kernel params
Adding intel_agp and i915 to MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf followed by a rebuild: # mkinitcpio -p linux

None of those these changes helped.

Here is my Xorg log:

I suspect I need to install fbdev and vesa modules somehow:

[    41.959] (II) Unloading vesa
[    41.959] (EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)

How can I install the fbdev and vesa modules?
Is it xf86-video-fbdev and xf86-video-vesa ?

These are my installed xorg packages:

x86_energy_perf_policy 4.0-3
xf86-input-evdev 2.9.2-1

xorg-xrandr 1.4.3-1
xorg-xrdb 1.1.0-1
xorg-xset 1.2.3-1

According to what I read on the Xorg wiki, vesa is the fallback driver for many GPU. Does this mean that Xorg doesn't recognize my intel driver?

Re: Xorg crashes after upgrading kernel - Intel GPU - thinkpad x240

I am also using a X240 (i5-4210u) with Intel HD4400 and have had no graphics problems whatsoever, having used 3.17 through 4.0.4. I have no xorg.conf, and haven't added any parameters to the kernel command line. I am not sure how to approach this, but the line missing from your log should be something like this:

Maybe this is the issue?

Re: Xorg crashes after upgrading kernel - Intel GPU - thinkpad x240

Thanks for the suggestions!

I tried updating my microcode, but that didn't help. Still got the same errors...
However I am unsure if the microcode updates got installed, as  

$ dmesg | grep microcode

did not yield any results.
But I checked that my grub cfg had the initrd line it should have.

from grub.cfg

There does not seem to be anything I really need from these packages?
Is there a reason you do not have xinit installed?
Is it because you use xdm? I only use text based login. Maybe that is my problem?

Another problem might be that my x240 is i7 instead of i5?
