can you paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere like http://pastebin.com and post here the resulting link to the paste?
the output of lspci might be useful too...
from the log it seems it doesn't find any suitable driver for your hardware (after having tried them all): it can be that support for your hardware just isn't there anymore with the newer X.org 1.20.
if your hardware was working with the drivers shipped with X.org of 14.2 maybe the best option for you is to stick with it.
Given this is intel I would suggest trying modesetting again. I don't think intel puts much work in their xf86-video-intel anymore and it has suffered bitrot. You probably can just removepkg xf86-video-intel for it to fallback to modesetting.

You shouldn't manually touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, but it is fine to add files to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
unfortunately this hardware it's not supported by intel on Linux: have a look at the topics I linked above.
I actually had this hardware too on a netbook years ago...

Thanks, Matt. This seems to be the only solution. Does this mean my hw won't be supported in the future releases?
