[arch-general] X11 crashes after pacman -Syu
I recently updated my system with pacman -Syu; everything worked fine, but since I've rebooted the machine, running 'startx' causes X to start, I see the 'nvidia' logo flash, and then crash. I updated 'nvidia', but now when it starts it complains of being unable to allocate DMA memory and aborts. My Xorg.0.log is here: http://sprunge.us/GOLS -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

As the log says, xorg hasn't found any screens. Are you using any configuration? If yes, post it too. Also try, temporarily disabling custom configuration if it exists. I don't have an nvidia card, so I don't know if it needs any custom config, etc. You can autogenerate a configuration file using Xorg -configure as root. -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps
I get the same error with and without using my config file. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

Try downgrading only nvidia driver? Because I don't think there's any problem with xorg. If problem still persists, then downgrade xorg too. -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps
I tried downgrading to .52, still had the same error. I can try downgrading Xorg. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

Most probably you need to set an option to ignore abi for now .... no idea of how to do that though, I don't own an nvidia card. -- Mauro Santos
I tried downgrading xorg too, different combinations of downgrading that and nvidia lead to either the same error or a segfault. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li
Turns out evdev was causing the segfaults when it didn't give the nvidia error, so I downgraded nvidia, nvidia-utils, kernel26, and evdev (which required removing files by hand (!)), and now it works. I'm just not going to mess with it until I have other running computers to play with. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

I had pretty much the same problem (same error in the log), but i could get X to start by just doing % rmmod nvidia % modprobe nvidia After every reboot I had the same problem. To solve it I did % mkinitcpio -p kernel26 and after that everything was fine, I didn't have to downgrade anything.

BTW, I have nvidia in the MODULES list in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf That may have something to do with me being able to solve it like this. -- patrick
