I found out that I appear to have Nvidia Optimus on my new laptop. So, I installed the Intel driver as mentioned at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel. Xorg crashes.
tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
[ 18.047] (EE) No drivers available.
[ 18.047]
Fatal server error:
[ 18.047] no screens found
[ 18.047]
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
[ 18.047] Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

I will appreciate any ideas.

Check the BIOS if you can disable one of the graphics (likely the integrated one) and just use the other.
Alternatively, see if Bumblebee works on your system:

so you installed intel and you specify nvidia in xorg.conf? imo delete xorg.conf and try again
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks for catching my silly mistake! I deleted my xorg.conf file and gnome started. I will look into bumblebee too. Thanks for the help.
