[SOLVED]Does xf86-video-intel support G43 x4500 now?

I bought a computer recently which has a x4500 display card embedded (G43 chipset). I followed the Beginner's Guide on wiki:

pacman -S libgl
pacman -S xorg
pacman -S xf86-input-evdev
pacman -S mesa
pacman -S xf86-video-intel
Xorg -configure
cp /root/xorg.conf/new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf

The X started OK but when I pressed ctrl+alt+backspace, the monitor displayed "Over Range"

Then I restarted my computer and add HorizSync, VertRefresh, Composite(enable), Display resolution config to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and start X again, this time the X started failed with the same error -- "Over Range". I think this maybe caused by my resolution config: 1152x864. But my monitor is a 17-inch LCD and supports 1280x800 at most.

So what is the problem here? Does xf86-video-intel supports x4500 now?

Thanks a lot.

Try the newest driver. It's not in extra for a number of reasons (read the all 6 pages, since the PKGBUILDS provided in the first post are out of date.)
