[SOLVED] fresh install, xorg produces segmentation fault, latitude xt

Hi All,

I just installed arch for the first time on my latitude xt. I followed exactly the beginner guide and everything works fine. But I cant get xorg running.

My graphic-card is: ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 (Graphics Core RV410)

I installed the open-source driver

pacman -S xf86-video-ati

~/.xinitrc http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307856/
/etc/X11/xorg.conf http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307857/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307862/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307863/

lspci http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307867/

startx http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307873/

Please help me. I am stuck on this for several days now.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] fresh install, xorg produces segmentation fault, latitude xt

I added this line after my screen always went black during installation. Somebody mentioned that, and i added it without really knowing what this does. I forgot comletely about this.

Thank you so much, everything is working now!
