[SOLVED] Xorg-server not starting

I've installed xorg-server using this command "pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils" and its related video drivers for my intel-based board. Those are xf86-video-intel,mesa-libgl,lib32-mesa-libgl. When I start xorg using "startx", it isn't starting. I've attached output images too(whole output divided into 3).

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg-server not starting

You didn't customize your xinitrc or install the optional deps to run the default one.

Pacman told you when you installed the xorg-xinit package, but don't just blindly install packages to try to fix a problem you don't understand, read the wiki.

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg-server not starting

when you completly ignored the whole screen output, maybe try to purge it all and reinstall the xserver from scratch, watch for dependencies errors and so on.
Follow the beginner wiki on how to install arch step by step, it tells you what configs you need to edit in which certain way to get the results you were looking for.

Looking at the pictures it is obvious what is missing...

Also it would be really appealing if you would be able to upload the content of the log file instead of blurred non all containing screenshots since you still have access to the FS

thank you, now I realised my mistake, I've installed xfce4 desktop environment.
