Re: Xorg not starting in VBox

installed video drivers (xf86-video-vmware)

Why are you installing this driver and where did you get it?
At any case, it's all well defined here.

Re: Xorg not starting in VBox

Despite the posted IO being a complete mess:

Server terminated successfully (0).

The server ran fine, the problem is your xinitc - so please post that.

Also use code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode and make sure to post the actual output of stuff. Idk which pager or copy-and-paste endeavour ruined your OP, but I don't intend to decypher more of that kind.

virtualbox-guest-utils depends on xf86-video-vmware .

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

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
