After a new install I cant boot i get the blinking cursor, if I drop into TTY im seeing the following, is xf86-video-intel the correct driver?

[joey@archbook ~]$ tail ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

You don't have that driver installed...

you are correct sir, someone should have read the wiki before posting. Works great after running sudo pacman -S xf86-video-intel and not sudo pacman -Ss xf86-video-intel
