This is the second time in a week that xorg related updates
have caused my computer to freeze. Working back through my
pacman.log, here's how I think things played out:
[2008-10-21 22:02] upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.3.2-1 -> 2.5.0-1) [2008-10-21 22:02] upgraded xorg-server (1.4.2-2 -> 1.5.2-3) *** Everything is fine at this point *** [2008-10-30 17:43] upgraded libdrm (2.4.0-1 -> 2.4.1-1) *** X freezes my whole computer *** [2008-10-31 06:46] upgraded libdrm (2.4.1-1 -> 2.4.0-1) *** X works again *** [2008-11-01 07:39] upgraded libdrm (2.4.0-1 -> 2.4.1-1) [2008-11-01 07:48] upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.5.0-1 -> 2.5.0-2) *** X still works *** [2008-11-06 18:21] upgraded libpciaccess (0.10.4-1 -> 0.10.5-1) [2008-11-06 18:21] upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.5.0-2 -> 2.4.2-2) [2008-11-06 18:21] upgraded xorg-server (1.5.2-3 -> 1.5.3-1) [2008-11-06 18:21] upgraded xproto (7.0.13-1 -> 7.0.14-1) [2008-11-06 19:54] upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.4.2-2 -> 2.4.2-2) *** X freezes my whole computer *** [2008-11-06 19:59] upgraded libpciaccess (0.10.5-1 -> 0.10.4-1) [2008-11-06 19:59] upgraded xorg-server (1.5.3-1 -> 1.5.2-3) [2008-11-06 19:59] upgraded xf86-video-intel (2.4.2-2 -> 2.5.0-2) *** X works again *** So at this point in time, if I do a pacman -Syu and restart X, it will cause my computer to freeze. I'm on a Dell Latitude X1, Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller. Let me know if there's any other info I can provide, but I'm getting pretty frustrated with rebooting my computer. |

When I upgraded this desktop this morning, I was bitten by this issue. My GDM login screen would show up, but mouse and keyboard were completely dead, which looked like a hardlock of X.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection
it should start to work again
find the workaround here (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12025), btw i dont have evdev installed.
