lspci | grep VGA tells me that it's an ATI Rage XL card. The only way I've gotten into a terminal is chrooting from the install dvd. When I boot into the actual hard drive, there's brief flash of "welcome to GRUB" then the monitor gives the error. Now, when I chroot and execute startx, there's no error, but the screen is blank. Do you know, does arch automatically boot into runlevel 3 or 5? I'm guessing 3 since X wasn't installed until I ran pacman -S x-server.... I've been trying to enable SSH, but I get a "connection refused". Can I do systemctl enable while chrooted from the disk?

Does the problem exist at boot time or when you startx ? i915 is for intel cards so i915.nomodeset has no effect for your AMD/ATI Card. Can you paste the result of lspci | grep VGA ? We need to know if your card support KMS which is now enabled by default in rencent kernel.

You could try removing your xorg.conf as per the wiki...
