Created attachment 31678 [details] sample Xorg.0.log with garbage (copied from Arch bugtracker) Description: X starts, and when it displays something (three terminals and a clock, using twm manager), it immediately locks entire system up. The only thing I can do then is a hard reset of computer. When I restart Arch in text mode, I get a scrambled Xorg.0.log (looks like a random dump from memory) and there are some binary data in other logs, for example kernel.log. I tried to remove all video drivers except "vesa" and all input drivers except "evdev", but it is the same. When I remove *all* video drivers, X starts and generates normal logs Additional info: * package version(s) xorg-server 1.7.2-1 kernel 2.6.31 Output of "pacman -Q" attached (list of installed packets) * config and/or log files etc. I have no xorg.conf. Several logs attached (including Xorg.0.log) Steps to reproduce: I installed a fresh Arch (2009.08), did a "pacman -Syu", then installed "xorg", "xf86-video-drivers", "xf86-input-drivers", "openbox" and "obconf" - all with dependencies. I created a new user and ran "startx" from this user account. my system is a lenovo thinkpad T61 with GM965 (x3100).
Created attachment 31679 [details] faillog, also binary garbage
Created attachment 31680 [details] errors.log
Created attachment 31681 [details] one more Xorg.0.log
Created attachment 31682 [details] nice Xorg.0.log without binary data, with only fbdev driver installed This one was generated when I turned on KMS and removed all video drivers except fbdev driver. System haven't hung up, but X hasn't started at all.
After looking at your Xorg.0.log, I'm thinking that your large virtual + bpp might be to blame. Have you tried a lower virtual and/or lower bpp?
I haven't tried this but it seems that this bug has been fixed. See also: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17339 thanks for reply :-)
