[arch-general] Segmentation fault in X after last upgrade

[Lars Tennstedt]

Hi,

Xorg with nvidia-96xx for a GeForce 3 Ti 200 does not start anymore on 
my Arch Linux installation (i686). First I thought that it was a failure 
caused by SLiM because the error output on screen was "respawning too 
fast" and I switched from respawn to once but that did not help. Even 
standalone X does not start. I looked into the log file and there were 
messages about that freetype and kbd cannot be found. But both are 
installed. Are these problems connected to each other?

Bye
Lars
