For reference, the HD5500 is a Broadwell chip.

You have had some good advice. Move your configuration file aside. They
generally cause trouble other than short files to add fonts or to specify
non-default options.

Second, as suggested, remove any xf86-video-intel driver and let the system use
the modesetting driver. My older generation Intel graphics worked much better
and was faster with modesetting.

Finally, don't try running X as root! This has been considered a security
problem for many years. It may be better these days, but I would still not ever
do this, especially when I see the xauth error. there was another bug about
this issue about a month ago, but I don't recall the resolution. You might
search bugzilla.
