[X11] Install on MSI Wind U123 fails

Hello,

I tried to install Arch Linux., and every step till X11 succeeds. I use auto configuration, since in Ubuntu this works as well. The driver is vesa. When I start startx Arch gives me a malformed screen. Not just black, but with some horizontal stripes, that moves when I'm moving my mouse.. Can you help me fix this?

Relevant info:

Hi t.

I'll suppose that the chipset Intel UMA works like the GMA (i'm not an expert about it)

I would try changing the graphics driver.
First of all, install it:

pacman -S xf86-video-intel

Then, you can make a good xorg.conf file with:

Xorg -configure

It should automatically select the right driver (if it is installed).
You will have to move it to the /etc/X11 folder:

mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Please, notice that the new Kernel requires to enable KMS for the Intel chipset to work fine. Take a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel

I hope this will help.

Bye!
