Intel 4500MHD Xorg.conf Problems

I've been having trouble making an xorg.conf for my Intel 4500MHD.  I had it working with hwd-xa in 2.6.28 before the Xserver was updated to 1.6 and broke support from hwd.  Now my current problem is that I can run startx as root and get the typical 3 terminals and clock but as a user I cannot even get xterm to come up and when I do startx as my user (which is in the video group) I end up failing with 3 errors,

(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) PreInit returned NULL for "ST LIS3LV02DL Accelerometer"
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)

I'm currently running without an xorg.conf (so I cannot really post one) and I'm using up-to-date xorg and xf86-video-intel for this card and I did enable KMS through rebuilding the intriframs.  I did try installing xf86-video-fbdev to see if it would fix that problem (which only happens in a user) but it simply threw "Cannot render in buffermode". Anyone have an idea to fix it?
