I have installed all the Xorg and Xinit files.
I ran
lspci | grep -e VGA
and got
0e:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] ES1000 (rev 02)
I installed xf86-video-ati for the driver and ran
Xorg :0 -configure
Result in Xorg.0.log is :

Xorg :0 -configure
...
In all seriousness, just don't run Xorg :0 -configure in the first place. As evident that functionality is broken and should not be used anymore (I'd really think they would have removed the ability to even attempt to do so by now). Just try to start X without any explicit configuration from your side. It is perfectly capable of figuring out the correct configuration automatically itself during startup.

Thank you!
I ran
startx
and got a blank screen. I thought I would see the xterm and xclock. did I miss an install?

Do you have xterm, xclock (and twm) installed? What does your ~/.xinitrc look like?
Offline
My bad! I thought xterm and twm were packaged under the xorg server and xinit install package. I just installed it.
Thank you

That card is a very weak integrated videocard , basically a server version of the ATI rage XL.

http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=4639
TL;DR : add an external videocard to that sytem if you need X

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
