[SOLVED] Intel graphics and Xorg

Hi everyone,
  I am back after a break with Arch Linux.
Please can someone share clearer instructions how to configure Xorg with Intel on board graphics?

lspci | grep -e VGA -e 3D
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

I admit I am not up to date and today's Arch Wiki is full of tips but I do not know where the actual instruction ends.
Thank you

The Intel page is pretty self explanatory...

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC

Eh ... the configuration line in the wiki has just one thing to say

There is no need for any configuration to run X.

What exactly would be your criteria for something clearer than that?

Dear Mates,
   I mean since I was browsing your wiki pages last time it was clearer, now some of the pages looks more like a dumping ground for various exceptions and tips. I do not know when the particular instruction ends.
If you say that the Xorg works out of the box I will test it and come back to you if any problems.
I am not a noob I was registered here in 2007 when Arch looked like a Slackware in 1997. :-P
Best regards,

Intel Graphics really is plug and play - besides a few well known issues that are documented.

You can't expect configuration instructions to be written when configuration isn't required now can you. If you don't like the Wiki's style, how about contributing instead of criticising?

@chazza
Thank you. I would contribute, however I think it is better if I just keep criticizing otherwise other people will start complaining on my layout, the way I do things or something else.
As you know it is hard to satisfy everyone so I am happy to be a critic and you can criticize me for my criticizing.

Re: [SOLVED] Intel graphics and Xorg

Good.
Yes, it looks like it was down to some missing package that was not installed.
X is fine now and I have to say I am happy that you guys reply to new topics which was not always the case at Fedora forums.

I still have to reverse engineer what I have done in recent days to make it work so I can share it.
Best regards,
