After upgrading from xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0-5-i686 to xf86-video-vesa-2.0.0-1-i686, X will not start. The screen simply goes blank, and neither console switching nor ctrl+alt+bksp has any effect.

My laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 graphics card.


Attached:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
lspci


Steps to reproduce:
$ startx (works with VESA driver)
# pacman -Syu (VESA driver upgraded)
$ startx (does not work with VESA driver)

Then to fix it:
# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0-5-i686.pkg.tar.gz
$ starx (works with VESA driver)

I can confirm this. Same issue on my laptop.

[daenyth@Sleipnir chrome]$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 11)

Downgrade from 2.0.0-1 to 1.3.0-5 fixed it for me.
