DetailsDescription:
When using a fresh install; and following the usually recommended minimum path to get X up and running, I ran into this issue when trying to start X: /usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg: error while loading shared libraries: libpciaccess.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error Relevant packages installed beyond base: nvidia nvidia-libgl nvidia-utils xorg-server xorg-xinit As this is a very fresh install; I you can see that I haven't done much out of the ordinary (only other non-base apps right now are neovim, rxvt-unicode, and herbstluftwm). I created my ~.xinitrc from a copy of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, as is the current recommendation on the wiki page. The only modification to that file is to start herbstluftwm. I do not run a display manager. The NVidia card in question is a GTX 960, and I do not have any embedded graphics. It seems like this is not just me, as I have seen recent reports of other people reporting missing this (and two other) libraries with similar installs. Everyone reports having to install libpciaccess, libdrm, and libxshmfence. Installing these allowed X to start. Additional info: nvidia 375.26-6 nvidia-libgl 375.26-2 nvidia-utils 375.26-2 xorg-server 1.19.1-2 xorg-xinit 1.3.4-4 Forum thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=223084 Steps to reproduce: Perform a base installation with the packages described above, and try to start X. |

Shouldn't libdrm, and libxshmfence also be included here? I had to install those too for X to start and work as expected.
