Thank you! I switched it to:
(modify-services %desktop-services
(slim-service-type
config => (slim-configuration
(inherit config)
(startx (xorg-start-command
#:configuration-file
(xorg-configuration-file
#:drivers '("intel")))))))
This solved it for me... xorg is back up and running again!
So I guess if you have an old x200 or so and are having this problem
(which seemingly at the moment nobody else is, so I'm closing this): do
as I did and (hopefully) that should solve it!
