xorg won't detect builtin Intel graphics chip on Lenova Thinkpad 11e

I installed Arch Linux on a Lenova Thinkpad 11e (not the Yoga Chromebook, but originally a Windows laptop). 
After installing Xorg, I tried X and it hung.  I tried Xorg :2 -configure and got the output below.  The problem in a nutshell appears to be that Xorg and the driver cannot see the chip:

"No devices to configure.  Configuration failed."

Help please! 

Here is the entire output from Xorg command:

[root@localhost ~]# Xorg :2 -configure

I installed  xf86-video-intel using pacman.  Next, I had installed only Xorg-server.  (But, when it did not work, I tried installing every Xorg package.  This did not help, but lengthened the list of video drivers.) 

The output of lsmod is below:

Re: xorg won't detect builtin Intel graphics chip on Lenova Thinkpad 11e

Try to run Xorg without -configure flag. Usually it is useless with modern X server.

Also try to remove all xorg-video drivers except intel.

Re: xorg won't detect builtin Intel graphics chip on Lenova Thinkpad 11e

=After installing Xorg, I tried X and it hung.

The log from that would have been very useful  .....

Anyway after removing all xf86-video except intel, make sure you have NO X configuration files and run startx again .

post the full xorg log.

Re: xorg won't detect builtin Intel graphics chip on Lenova Thinkpad 11e

I did try to run Xorg without -configure.  That did not work.  So, I tried Xorg :3 -configure and got the message that I sent.  I will reproduce the error from just typing:

Xorg

when I get home.  I am happy to remove all the Xorg packages, but it is worth pointing out, I think, that I originally installed only xorg-server and the Intel driver I referenced at the top.  I got the same "No device detected" error.  Please note that the Xorg -configure log is pasted to the bottom of my original email.  I left the laptop at home, so I will have to get you the other log file tonight.

Thanks

Re: xorg won't detect builtin Intel graphics chip on Lenova Thinkpad 11e

I've been using Arch on a Lenovo Thinkpad 11e ever since I bought it about 17 months ago. Except for the "mei_txe" module crashing my laptop during installation back then and 109051 I never experienced any problems.

I am not using xf86-video-intel but instead use the modesetting driver included with the xorg-server package.

In your second Xorg log it looks like Xorg actually finds your video chip and assigns it the modesetting driver.
Install xinit, make sure you have no Xorg configuration screwing things up and try running startx.

Good luck!

Re: xorg won't detect builtin Intel graphics chip on Lenova Thinkpad 11e

Thank you everyone.  I reinstalled and installed xorg-server, xf86-video-intel, xf86-video-fbdev, xf86-video-vesa, xf86-input-synaptics.  This time everything worked and I am typing from firefox on lxqt!

I will mark this as closed as soon as I get my original login, obitori, working.
