I'm not using a xorg.conf, hal/dbus are running and I'm using the xf86-video-intel module. There are no other xf86-video-* modules present.
Below follows my xorg.log:

As you can see above it first loads the intel module and then goes on to try and load all the faulty ones. KDE still starts without any fuzz and I think gnome does too I am however trying to test XMonad out and it only goes into a black screen with a pointer, and when I terminate and it seems that this is to blame.

And when I terminate the Xmonad session with alt+shift+q xorg has outputted the following:

xauth:  creating new authority file /home/vesz/.serverauth.1522


This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.

waiting for X server to shut down Dropping master

Maybe fbcon to blame? or is that just something that is apart of fbdev. I am also using KMS with 'options i915 modeset=1' to get native resolution in console if that might have something to do with this.

Thanks, hope I didn't post too much worthless stuff

EDIT: This is the way xmonad works, I didn't load anything in config still I think all the failed module loads are rather annoying and would like to get rid of them if anyone knows how.

What is on the command line for your kernel in your grub configuration file? (/boot/grub/menu.lst)

For Intel chips, when using mode setting and drm, Intel provides its own frame buffer that is not compatible with any other frame buffer (VGA, VESA, NG, etc...)

Do not specify any video settings on the kernel command line. No video=... , No VGA= ..., nothing.
After the kernel loads, the Intel frame buffer should start about the same time as the first kernel modules get loaded. There is a good article at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics

If the frame buffer doesn't start, see the bit about Early Start.

Good Luck

Edit:
After reading your problem more closely, I may have misunderstood. The problem with the black screen after logout is not the fault of trying to load the other, non-existent drivers. It is due to a bug in KDM. The black screen does not occur with GDM. (Personal Aside:Unfortunately I cannot abide the look of GDM)

As a work around, edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and find the block labeled :

 [X-:*-Core]

and add a line that reads:

TerminateServer=true

The black screen is preceded by an xorg-crash. The terminate-server causes KDM to kill any existing server at log out and start anew (originally this was to manage memory leaks)

I'm not using a xorg.conf, hal/dbus are running and I'm using the xf86-video-intel module. There are no other xf86-video-* modules present.
Below follows my xorg.log:

I'm having the same problem. I have intel915, nothing exept intell module installed, everything works ok but in xorg.0.log I see
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module vesa
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module fbdev
If you managed to solve the issue -just tell me how

That's not a problem. What issue exactly do you have?
