Hi all
I'm having some issues starting the X server. I don't know how it happened, my netbook was on standby. After I turned it on, there were loud beep sounds coming out of my computer and the screen was completely black so I shut it down. After I turned it back on I got following issue:
gdm-binary[4585]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lastet 0,135094 seconds
gdm-binary[4585]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lastet 0,137406 seconds

gdm-binary[4585]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors
Ok so I tried to start X only:

then, I upgraded my system (there was a kernel update) and now I get this when I start X:

When you have this type of problems with xorg a good solution is always this:
A. became root and then
B. run this: X -configure
C. edit xorg.conf.new
D. and replace the Driver to vesa
test it

I get following error now:
(...)

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

I don't think there is a problem with the x.org configuration so I hope you backed it up. This line indicates the problem:
(EE) intel(0): No kernel modesetting driver detected.
Make sure you haven't disabled KMS (like using i915.modeset=0 in /boot/grub/menu.lst).

I think I haven't disabled KMS. In /boot/grub/menu.lst there is this line:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... ro i915.modset=1

Did you add the intel_agp and i915 modules to your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf?

I think that you don't need the kernel line i915.modset=1.
