Installed the system as taking reference this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FudOL0-B9Hs&t=1287
Things i did different is i set 3 /dev/sda partitions
/dev/sda1 is 4 GB swap
/dev/sda2 is 248 GB around ext4
/dev/sda3 is 90 MB around bios boot
Display manager is LXDM
And while installing xfce4 xfce4-goodies it said me tracker3 conflicting with a package that necessary for installation. I searched tracker3 and learned it is a thing about gnome, so i deleted it and completed installation as succesfully. I am noting that because i didnt install anything related with GNOME.
After reboot i am having a login screen. Choosing the user and entering its password. Screen is waiting me in a blue place with my mouse icon and sending back to login interface.
Hence i am not able to get in user-level graphical interface. I am stuck at login screen in a paradox. I am HAVING graphical screen at login, i can see good designs at login, i can move cursor at login, i can interact at login. I mean computer is not starting with terminal screen to login and it is a good thing. Login starting with graphical interface and graphical login interface is not taking me in. Need help.

VGA compatible controller:
lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"

I was already done "pacman -S xf86-video-intel" command earlier.

cat ~/.xsession-errors

Other succesful session opens (with the paradox sending me back in login screen)...
There were no ~/.xinitrc file, so i created a one.
[root@arch] nano .xinitrc
exec startxfce4
Save and exit.
Entered command startx

And stayed in same terminal screen. When i go back to other TTY1 i was still having same paradox and startx in TTY2 didnt work.

!!!! Found some errors
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i "(EE)"

[28.858] (EE) GLX: could not load software renderer
cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log | grep -i "(EE)"
also completely same just the numbers in the boxes are different.
-----
Entered
"sudo pacman -S libxml2" for
AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
But pacman said this package is up to date and reinstalled. After reboot as expected problem continued.
Tried
"pacman -Rns xf86-video-intel"
if using xorg's modesetting driver will change something and it is too didnt work.
Then installed intel's driver again.
"pacman -S xf86-video-intel"
Regards.

Wild guess, but did you configure it before start?
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/display_managers
"Regarding the configuration, check the presence of a file (or add) /usr/share/xsessions/06xfce4.desktop (the location may differ depending on the distributions), such as: ..."

'libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'
Try to install 'libxml2-legacy' along to 'libxml2'.
Yes it has progress. Now i am not stuck at login screen. I could be able to enter my user but there is no interactive icons. After login i had a black screen for a short time, after that just my cursor and the blue screen. What i can only do is making blue rectangles with my mouse's long left click and movements.

Waiting for a solution in darkness...

I think, the display manager (what are you using btw, lightdm?), might write something in journalctl or /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Probably again
a shared library missing.
You might be better off to boot into console mode, then log in on the console and try `startx` (the old way). You see more, what's going
wrong.. :-)

I was using lxdm

Now the computer is no longer in my hold. After desperate attempts and a bit waiting i gave up. And gave the computer to my friend which i was borrowed from him.

Sounds like the chip is also not supported by the old framebuffers, in the kernel config one would have to look it up. Or maybe in other sources.
This is work. :-)
Nothing which works out-of-the-box, I'm afraid.
