Arch Linux arm Xorg doesn't display anything on Raspberry Pi 3 when running startx

Question

On my raspberry pi 3 i have Arch Linux Arm Installed. I installed xorg, i3, and all of the drivers for it. i have my xinitrc file set up like default to run i3:

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then

    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then

    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

exec i3

when I run sudo startx i get this output

the error is in Failed to connect to bus: No medium found dbus-update-activation-environment: error: unable to connect to D-Bus: Using X11 for dbus-daemon autolaunch was disabled at compile time, set your DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS instead I have looked for hours and can not find a way to fix this. After running sudo startx My screen just goes dark and I have to reboot. I appreciate any help give, thanks.
