EDIT: Ugh, but now there is another bug/glitch. Nvm.
]]>finally it works with "yaourt -S nvidia-all"
edit: but now I have a black screen every 5 minutes (= manual reboot)
...return on nv

Luckily, 1.7.2 works great for me.
listdata, are you only having problems with the dual-monitor setup/cpu usage, or is there something else as well? It might not be related to nvidia at all.
So to recap, I have 2 systems: (64-bit desktop + dual monitor + xinerama + nvidia card) and (32-bit laptop + intel graphics). The problem (i.e., of upgrading xorg-server to 1.7.x) exists on both platforms. I do think that it's a xorg problem not related to nvidia -- since my laptop has the same problem (I bet if I had a second monitor on it it would behave just like my desktop did before the downgrade). By the way, on my desktop right now, I have nvidia 190.42-1 which works perfectly, but my xorg-server package is still 1.6.3.901-1 because of said issues (see my original post in this thread on page 3).
Strangely, only my 64-bit laptop (also with xf86-video-intel) is running xorg-server 1.7.x series without any problems. I don't really mind though, the problem will resolve itself in a few months, probably. And plus I don't really notice any benefits of using the 1.7.x series.
I did a -Syu today and everything seems OK on both systems. I did, however, change my xorg.conf on my dualscreen desktop so that the monitors/screens were swapped (0 to 1, and 1 to 0 -- just to mirror how the motherboard sees the two DVI ports on my 8800GTS card) before I upgraded, so maybe that's why it works.
EDIT: With some more googling, I've narrowed down my desktop's xinerama + dual-monitor problem to this bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24986 which has not been fixed yet. I only got the illusion that things were OK on my desktop after the -Syu because I switched the 0 and 1 order in my xorg.conf (but even after the -Syu, my second monitor in protrait mode still had issues).

Do You Have Any Idea? I must downgrade xorg to 1.6?
thanks

Rewriting xorg.confs doesn't fix (most of?) these issues, flamelab... not unless some of them require arcane tweaks you can find at the nvidia forums. They're bugs and often result in segfaults.
Luckily, 1.7.2 works great for me.
listdata, are you only having problems with the dual-monitor setup/cpu usage, or is there something else as well? It might not be related to nvidia at all.
So to recap, I have 2 systems: (64-bit desktop + dual monitor + xinerama + nvidia card) and (32-bit laptop + intel graphics).

]]>I don't mean to hijack this thread, but from my experience, the new xorg-server (the new xorg-server-1.7.2-2) on my 32-bit laptop fares even worse -- it hangs the system when it starts, even though this laptop is not using the nvidia drivers (it has intel integrated graphics). I was forced to stop X from starting by going into runlevel 3. I downgraded back to the same 8 packages I currently have on my 64-bit system:
xf86-input-evdev 2.2.5-1
xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.2-2
xf86-input-mouse 1.4.0-2
xf86-input-synaptics 1.1.3-1
xorg-font-utils 7.4-3
xorg-server 1.6.3.901-1
xorg-server-utils 7.4-7
xorg-utils 7.4-4
xorg-xkb-utils 7.4-2
as well as:
xf86-video-intel-2.8.1-1
xf86-video-vesa-2.2.0-1
because pacman raised conflict issues when trying to downgrade with
pacman -U xorg-server-1.6.3.901-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
So, it's a lingering problem on nvidia and intel platforms, on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
]]>mangus: turns out we didn't have identical versions, I have the same behavior as you.
]]>Sorry, I don't play godsoccer . Maybe I should. Someone earlier in the thread said that going to their website with a webkit browser would segfault xorg, and they're right.
I get a segfault with the same version as you, mangus... what version of nvidia are you using?
nvidia-utils 190.42-2
nvidia-bfs 190.42-1.1
I use a custom bfs kernel and system is up to date.
I get a segfault with the same version as you, mangus... what version of nvidia are you using?
]]>With xorg-server-1.7.1.901-2 and nvidia-190.42-1, visiting godsoccer.com in arora (a webkit-based browser) always causes a segfault for me, with or without "IgnoreABI" on (I know this wasn't posted as a specific solution for this problem).
Edit: I still can't recover X after the segfault and must restart the computer entirely.
doh! An arch user that plays godsoccer!? I thought I was the only one..what's your team name? lol
btw I had the same problems with webkit browser and godsoccer site causing segfault , and now seems to be solved with xorg-server 1.7.1.902-1, yay!
since xorg-server 1.7.1.901-2, i get some random segfaults with kdemod3, like this :
kernel: X[1809]: segfault at 9bc5a000 ip b5c18630 sp bfaf7f20 error 4 in nvidia_drv.so[b5b82000+405000]
With kdemod4, no problem. I think it's related with ABI changes.
