Well, I usually had a FATAL kind of error in DMESG, due to a missing module that I insisted on having loaded in rc.conf, but the "fatality" was related to the attempt to load it, and didn't not harm the rest of the boot sequence. I agree that indeed it's the wrong name.
But you are right: in the strace, looking at the syntax, the error is not coming from X, but from the kernel, and X reads the fatality as a bad thing, I suppose, so this could be a X server bug. Maybe you can recompile the kernel with fbcon as a module and see what happens...
Well, I'm not an Arch kernel guru, but I guess you mean adding fbcon to the MODULES="" line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf so it would read: MODULES="fbcon intel_agp i915" and then rebuilding with mkinitcpio -p kernel26 I'll give it a shot and report back.... -- David C.
