I was experienceing another error with xorg and noticed that my xorg.conf wasnt configured fully so I was going to go and reconfigure it.
Long story short, I have deleted my xorg.conf and need to regen a new one.
Problem:
My output is to small to read.
I have tried the "Arch Fallback" Grub option. it still goes to runlevel 5. If anybody knows how to get the thing into runlevel 3 that would allow me to not format and save lots of time.
Also i tried sshing into it and I get "connection refused" So i must not have ssh on. ... its not really important for this box as it is only a desktop box.

Can you get to a readable tty with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace?

No. I also tried that. I have a feeling that that is because your keyboard is configured in the xorg.conf file as well.

Xorg has nothing to do with this. It's probably an issue with your console fonts.

but since i cant get a tty does that mean i need to format tomorrow? Thank you guys for your help btw. i had no idea that there was no way to get into a tty.
This is my second week with arch and it rocks. I love how linuxy it is. ubuntu is much more full. ...of stuff.

once you log in, can you CTRL+ALT+F2 and get a readable tty? if not, try this command as root:
# cp -p /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.bak
# sed 's/CONSOLEFONT=".*$/CONSOLEFONT="ter-v16b"/' /etc/rc.conf.bak > /etc/rc.conf

[tcross@Tom-Arch ~]$ scrot -cd5
Taking shot in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. 0.
Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
[tcross@Tom-Arch ~]$
This is why i deleted my config file. am I wrong in thinking this is a misconfigured xorg.conf?
I looked arround and it sounds like i need to manually compile X. that sounds like it wont work to me. but maybe. I have an ATI 4650 using the proprietary driver. buying an ATI card was the worst choice i think.

Yes, you're wrong. That error means nothing, and can safetly be ignored (as annoying as it is).
And no, you shouldn't need to compile X.

I get this error too, but it can be ignored since XGE will be supported in Xorg version 1.6
