xorg intel with X3100 problems on fresh "Don't Panic" install

Graphics card is an intel X3100. I am having trouble setting up xorg. I enabled the testing repository in /etc/pacman.conf and then I installed xorg and xf86-video-intel with pacman. Once that completed, I ran

Xorg -configure

and there are messages indicating trouble:

(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(II) Module already built-in

So I copied the /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, tried to startx, and then

(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found
(II) Module already built in
(II) Module already built in
(II) Module already built in
(EE) intel(0): [dri] I830CheckDRIAvailable failed: glx not loaded

The screen attempts to bring up X a few times. I think I noticed the cursor for a half-a-second, and then I'm put back at the CLI.

??

Thanks.

Remove glx from the modules section or install mesa.

Thank you for your advice. I installed mesa and now have new errors:

post your xorg.conf file so we can look it over to make sure it is setup right....xorg -configure doesn't always work...

I modified the initial config file after Xorg -configure. Here it is, xorg.conf:

No. I still don't have this working. Does anyone know if I have to enable any specific modules in /etc/modprobe.conf for this card to work?
