[SOLVED] Can't run xfce4 or xorg

Greetings! (Sorry for my bad english) I'm facing a problem with the installation of a desktop environment. I installed xorg and xfce4 without problems but when I start them I have an error message.

Require OpenGL version 2.1 or later
(EE) Fatal service error: (EE) Addscreen/Screenlimit failed for driver 0 (EE) Please consult the X.org Foundation Support at http://wiki.x.org for help. (EE) Please also check the log file (path to log file...) for additional information
(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server : Connection refused
xinit: server error

The log file says essentially the same things, only difference it says, just after "Require OpenGL version 2.1 or later",

modeset(0): Failed to initialize glamor at ScreenInit() time.

I've searched for solutions but I've never encountered my exact problem so I'm posting this topic. I've searched for the install of OpenGL 2.1 on arch but could not find anything (because I'm a newbie).

The output of the following command could be useful to you guys :

# lspci | grep -e VGA -e 3D
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Coorporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller

I installed some intel drivers :

pacman -Ss xf86-video-intel

like suggested on some forums but it didn't solve my problem. My CPU is an Intel Atom N450 1.66Ghz. I'm running 5.3.8-arch1-1.

I also installed this :

pacman -Qs libgl

but the same problem remains

EDIT :
after installing libgl, I re-installed xf86-video-intel and it downloaded some new files. The problem is now solved. So sorry that I created a topic. It could at least help some other people.

Thank you for your help !
