Xorg server: xf86EnableIOports

I started to put another fresh installation on a hard drive because another hard drive was having a problem. That one went through ok.
Then I tried to put another fresh installation on another hard drive, and X doesn't want to work.
I noticed that modesetting installs itself with X.  So I take every driver out except X, and X continuously keeps trying to start but modesetting is not the right driver for it.
But then if I have the intel driver, it'll at least show up with slim.  I can also get X to start under root, but not any other users.
I have updated all installations, noticing that the same errors come up regarding X, but one  from earlier this week works, but the other one from later this week won't.  I don't what blew up on a fresh installation.  Swapping out hard drives, the earlier one still works, and the later won't on the same machine. 

/dev/fb0: Permission denied.

  I think if I remove the fbdev I get rid of that error.

But then xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL 

Backing out to the previous xf86-video-intel driver doesn't seem to get it either.

--------------------------------------
In the process I ended up hosing my installation, and starting again but don't know if it was today's kernel update, but it's working now ...

Please edit your thread title blah blah blah (I shouldn't have to type this for someone with ~3K posts)....

Is this a machine with just an Intel card? If you start X with just the native modesetting (and remove the conf file as per the wiki) what is printed to the log (paste the entire thing)?
