xf86-video-i740 — Intel i740 video driver
xf86-video-i810 — Intel i810/i830/i9xx video drivers (deprecated - use -intel)
xf86-video-intel — Newer Version of Intel i810/i830/i9xx video drivers
these are the drivers i found that where provided by arch for intel video chip sets. Are one of them correct for my chip set? or do i have to keep looking, please help. which one out of these should i choose for my chipset?

me thinks the i740 is for the older chipset, so you should use the xf86-video-intel. But if you want you can also try out the intel-git or intel-newest from aur

If that's what
lspci | grep -i vga
says, go ahead with xf86-video-intel.
