Hello again. I am back to arch. I love arch. But my old computer died and the crappy one I have now apparently doesn't like Xorg.
When I start Xorg using startx or /etc/rc.d/entranced I get a white screen. pure white. not even a mouse.
I used Xorg -configure to get a new xorg.conf and then moved it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I have an integrated Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/Ge card. It says VGA compatible.
Any help on this? I am using the vga driver.

try the intel drivers or i810. if you want stability over performance use i810
pacman -S xf86-video-intel or pacman -S xf86-video-i810

I tried both, neither worked. They didn't go to white, but they didn't show anything but colored lines either. But I guess that might be a step in the right direction.

you have to redo your Xorg.conf or just change the driver line to intel or i810

I did. I'm (thankfully) not a newbie. I have Ubuntu working nicely on here, I am going to lsmod it and see what it uses. (Ubuntu's xorg.conf files are impossible to use on other OSs everything reads "Configured <device>")
