[arch-general] Failed to give slave programs access to the display
Hi all, I have a strange problem with my GDM. The problem started when I got a new monitor combined with updates. First I got a new monitor and connected (switching from DVI -> VGA cable to DVI -> DVI cable). It was different resolution as well 1900x1200. At the same session (ans without restarting) I upgraded after a week or something with the new kernel 3.7.6-1-ARCH and latest nvidia drivers 313.18.3-3. After that point the gdm starts (but slower than before) and as soon as I put my password and tried to start my session, the background image is lost (turns to black) I see some flickering and the Gnome-shell session loads but I can't access anything. I had this problem before randomly so I didn't pay attention but now it's consistent. I can move the mouse around without affecting the Gnome-shell though. journalctl [1] shows the above message along with NVRM errors right after I login. I tried downgrading to lower kernel and nvidia drivers but it didn't help as I cannot load the nvidia driver when I downgrade (I think I need to rebuild the nvidia kernel module and don't know how). I tried deleting the .config, .gconf, gnome2, gnome2-private, .nv folders from my home folder in case it was configuration but nothing. Anyone have some suggestion?
