EEE PC X-Server problem

Hey guys...
The day before yesterday I received my eee pc 901 and installed Archlinux. Everything worked fine so far, I managed to install the zeneee-4G kernel and also installed:

xf86-video-intel
Xorg
synaptics
libgl-dri

now I tried to start the X-Server with startx and got the following error:

(WW) intel: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1)
(II) Module "ddc" already built-in
(II) Module "i2c" already built-in
(II) Module "ramdac" already built-in
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/TTF, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/Type1, removing from list!

waitiing for X server to shut down ....FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.

The xorg.conf I'm using is:

EndSection

I also tried to start the x-server without the xorg.conf and got similar errors.

Then X should run out of the box, including with direct rendering, even without xorg.conf.

In addition to this I tried hwd too, but nothing worked. I really hope someone can help me.

Re: EEE PC X-Server problem

Probably the same problem as http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58591
Not that it solves anything... but something's probably wrong with the libxaw package. Check if it contains /usr/lib/libXaw.so.8

Re: EEE PC X-Server problem

Well, there seems to be no (fatal) problem with X itself. Remember that when you run 'startx', it expects that you have something in ~/.xinitrc to run after X itself is up and running.
