I just upgraded this morning and after a reboot X refuses to start. My /var/log/Xorg.0.log contains a message about a segmentation fault and a short backtrace.
I'm on AMD64, with an nVidia card (I'm using the Xorg driver, nv).
Anyone else seeing something the same behaviour? Any suggestions on how I can get my system back to normal again?

You could try nouveau driver instead.
Is that driver as mature as the Xorg nv driver? (I don't really care about 3d stuff, so the Xorg driver is feature full enoug.)
In the meantime I've downgraded to xorg-server from 4 Sep (and device packages from even earlier).
Had I thought about it I would have tried removing the nv package and let X run with vesa instead. I'll have to get some work done first thought, maybe I have time to try it later today or tomorrow.

Before using vesa driver you should at least give nouveau and nv driver a shot. Both lack on 3D support but for 2D operations they should work fine. Nouveau has nice kms support, which is nice if it works on your card. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau
Well, all I'm really interested in is finding out whether it's xorg-server or xf86-video-nv which is broken. Then raise a bug, and get it fixed :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
