Hi, completely new to Arch here. I'm trying to follow the Beginner's guide exactly, but I seem to get the black screen with two white dots at the top. I know I'm doing something wrong but I can't find out where.
I am told to use wgetpaste, so here's my files:
~/.xinitrc | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/183950/
/etc/X11/xorg.conf | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/183952/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/183953/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/183954/
Thanks in advance, I'm quite lost.

Have you tried starting without an xorg.conf?

Yes, I got the same result.

Did you try with nomodeset on the kernel line?

No, could you go into further detail?

I see you're running vesa as a driver. Have you installed the intel driver?
# pacman -S xf86-video-intel
If not, install it and try running without xorg.conf again. Otherwise you will have to put it in xorg.conf of which I don't know how to do it the right way for now.
EDIT: This could help, too http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel
It also helps how to enable KMS on older Kernel versions. Nomodeset will have to be added in Grub like the modeset setting I guess.
