Yes, thanks for that, the xf86-video-intel driver worked. I can now start X.

Now I am having trouble getting X to recognize my laptop's trackpad. I have
specified /dev/ums0 as my mouse, but X doesn't work with either the trackpad
or an external USB mouse. I have tried /dev/ums1, /dev/ukbd1, and a few
others based on the  mouse-like devices whose drivers emit messages on the
console at boot time, but still no luck. Could someone please help?

thanks,
