Hi folks,
right now, I updated my machine and X won't start! The new kernel, new xorg-server and nvidia-*.
nvidia 169.09-2 nvidia-utils 169.09-1 xorg-server 1.4.0.90-6 kernel26 2.6.24.1-2
I updated normally but X won't start. All I get is a blank screen. I can't change back to ttys. The only thing that's working is CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot my machine.
I tried a few thing.. pacman -Rd xorg-server nvidia nvidia-utils and installing them again pacman -S xorg-server pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
everytime the symlink to libwfb.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules is symlinked to the "real" libwfb. Having nvidia-* installed, it symlinks to libnvidia-wfb.so.169.09. If nvidia is not installed, it symlinks to libwfb.so.1.4
Any ideas? I can't get any output of the starting X-Server, because I can't switch back to the tty.
Thanks in advance.
Are you sure the nvidia* packages installed correctly? When I installed them both a few hours ago, one of them gave me some problems because of a simlink already there. I deleted the simlink and everything went fine after that. regards, Driadan
