I guess I should clarify my request.  Is there anything special or specific to getting xwindows running on arch linux on the pinebook?


If you want to run Xorg, and the mate desktop, don't use the archlinux image;  rather, use the ubuntu mate image.  Neither here not there, it would seem that you borked the boot-up somehow.  Obviously, you will need to start over;  but, you might want to consider why you're running arch in the first place?

What do you want to accomplish with your pinebook;  ubuntu mate will probably work fine for you.

On the other hand;  did you get a logon prompt with the four pinecones ??

If so, then logon and start the desktop by trying:

  startx
