[SOLVED DUE TO MAJOR STUPIDITY]X doesn't start

I did a pacman -Syu to upgrade the xf86-video-intel,xorg-server,xf86-input-synaptics,libgl,mesa,intel-dri.
Previously I had self compiled xorg-server 1.6 RC running.
After update (I didn't update anything else, had newer kernel already running)
xorg doesn't start (black screen)
/var/log/Xorg.0.log is old.
I removed /var/log/Xorg.* and restarted X
Went to check Xorg.0.log... and there is no such file. Xorg doesn't produce log file.
I'm puzzled. I have Intel x3100 (GL 965)

Grrr!
/me bangs his head against the wall....
For some reason I had removed xorg-server and xf86-video-intel (and apparently the later doesn't require xorg-server) so I ended up without xorg, hence no log...
xorg-server dependence to some packages should be added, I think to avoid people like me doing VERY stupid things...

Re: [SOLVED DUE TO MAJOR STUPIDITY]X doesn't start

A few days ago I uninstalled chakra's KDEMOD and installed extra's KDE. I don't think I missed any messages but although I could start X, I couldn't start KDE. Turned out I was missing QT. Took a while to work that one out
