Details
I installed xorg-server 1.2.0 from the testing
repository.
I was able to start X, and everything was working, but very, very slowly. I looked into top and realized that X process eats lots of CPU. This is confirmed by another person in this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29661 This is probably related to open source ATI Radeon driver. My system: - latest stuff from current repository and testing repository - Athlon 3000+ - Radeon 9800 Pro using DRI driver - kernel 2.6.20 from testing |
This task depends upon

Not sure if this is tha eaxact same issue (different symptoms),
similar to lumiwa in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29650
upgrading to kernel26 2.6.20-1 seemed to cause X to crash at
startup. ATI Radeon driver/xf86-video-ati used. Downgrading things
like xorg-server 1.2.0-1 didn't help, only downgrading to kernel26
2.6.19.2-1 (so everything except kernel26 is currently up-to-date
testing). I hope that the info. I provide is of some use. Thanks.
could you try to downgrade just libx11 from current to
libx11-1.1-2?
I can confirm this, however, if I disable exa it's a lot faster
(with an X800XL & the opensource radeon driver).
As EXA is still not the prefered rendering method, I don't think
this is a big issue. I haven't found any problems with a radeon
X550SE, either with the fglrx driver or the opensource drivers.
I have the same issue with sis650 video... May be this is xorg
upstream bug?..
Now it's even worse, because new version of xf86-input-keyboard
and xf86-input-mouse doesn't work with xorg-server-1.1.1, so I
will need to skip 3 packages in my updates now :(
