This sounds similar to the problem with the 815 graphics controller. The
screen does not refresh without adding "NoAccel" as an option within the
videocard section of the xorg.conf file.
If this problem is happening with another video card and arch, it might
be a non-driver problem that is related to an xorg-x11 flaw within the
new version of X.
I'm on an i686 system,
