I have a problem with Xorg on my notebook - after "startx" (.xinitrc contains "exec startxfce4") screen goes blank (not refreshing, just showing last displayed picture), but it seems that xfce4 is running (there is it's output on the tty1). These are mine xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log, when I'm using "nvidia" drivers. And these are xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log, when I'm using "nouveau" drivers.
Some more info:
It's fresh arch installation.
Fresh kubuntu installation was able to start Xorg.
lspci
"uname -a": Linux myhost 2.6.36-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 24 00:39:57 CET 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU P6000 @ 1.87GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Google knows about the same issues (blank screen, nvidia unable to read EDID and etc), but I wasn't able to fix them by myself. What should I do?
P.S. Sorry for bad english.

Can you switch to other ttys ([Ctrl+] Alt + Fx) before and after you 'startx'?
Did you reboot after installing nouveau drivers? Remove nvidia + install nouveau, reboot, startx.

Yes for both.

Well, at first I just did
rmmod nvidia
modprobe nouveauwithout rebooting.
Remove nvidia + install nouveau, reboot, startx.
Did it. Error still exists.
I was unable to remove "nvidia-utils", thought:
:: mesa: requires libgl
:: xorg-utils: requires libglLast edited by dkanus (2010-12-10 07:38:48)

You can remove nvidia-utils with "pacman -S mesa libgl"

Yep, it worked. Thanks.
Now Xorg just crashes with Xorg.0.log

I have installed "nouveau-drm-lts", "nouveau-firmware" and "nouveau-dri" (but deleted the last one later) - these didn't help. "xf86-video-nouveau-git" failed to install, because its dependency "nouveau-drm" is nowhere to be found (I wonder if it's good idea to ingnore this denpendency in hope that "nouveau-drm-lts" would do). And newer "nouveau-drm-lts" failed to compile ("noop_llseek undeclared here").
So problem still remains.

I'm the maintainer of xf86-video-nouveau-git, and it's safe to delete that dependency on nouveau-drm. I'll fix the package in a bit.
However, that package is unlikely to fix anything. What's the output of "dmesg | grep drm"?

[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] detected 127M stolen memory, trimming to 32M
[drm] set up 32M of stolen space
fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device
drm: registered panic notifier
[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Unsupported chipset 0xffffffffOnce after system boot "dmesg | grep drm" was different (looked like it successfully detected my video card), "Xorg.0.log" contained different error and all conserning drm in it looked good. Also, while booting, after "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed", screen changes resolution and sometimes (it's rare, but usually several times in a row) it just goes black. I didn't notice any problems like that with windows and other linux installations - maybe they have something to do with the main problem.
P.S. I didn't install "xf86-video-nouveau-git" yet, due to not having a network access on the notebook (I'm writing from the different PC now). I'll inform after I do so.

inteldrmfb & i915 are about Intel not nvidia ...
What graphics card do you have?
Offline
I have Integrated Intel and Nvidia. Here is "lspci | grep VGA":
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0a29 (rev a2)I just tried this xorg.conf (genereted by "Xorg -configure") and it resulted with a black screen. When I switch to another ttys, screen blinks and remains black - the only thing I can do is reboot (ctrl+alt+delete). Here is resulting Xorg.0.log.

Do you mean you have Hybrid Graphic (Nvidia Optimus)?

Well, I didn't meant that - I'm actually never thought about why I have two video cards. But it looks like my case: I tried to use Intel graphics card and it worked just fine. Good thing it runs smooth everything I need.
Thanks for help.
