Arch Installation broke

My arch setup broke after latest update ? Its booting (after fsck and other service check) to  a black screen after the grub menu , with no tty access.
I can boot to tty after adding i915.modeset=0 , but cant start display-server using either display-manager or xinitrc. Any help ..
Everytime getting the error along the lines of  "xorg closed the connection, no screen availible"

Previously I used to boot with nouveau.modeset=0, as I have a hybrid (intel+nvidia)gpu, out of which nvidia's is toasted.
Any help will be appreciated .

What was in the latest update? (/var/log/pacman.log)
Please post the journal for a boot with the issue and a boot with i915.modeset=0

Re: Arch Installation broke

Just a complementary, En early KMS is better for Xorg.

$ cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
MODULES=( i915 )
...
