A few days back I upgraded my HTPC (which runs kernel26-lts), only to find X segfaulting on the nVidia driver that comes with nvidia-utils (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so).
I tried rebuilding both nvidia-utils and nvidia-lts, but the segfault remains. Rolling back to the previoius 270.x.x package 'fixes' it. Pointers are appreciated.

Thanks, but this is a different problem. X segfaults, so I get no X server at all.

Hmm, I had the same problem with the latest Nvidia/Xorg packages recently; I read somewhere that the newest nvidia drivers only work with the latest kernel26 package (2.6.39.1), and indeed upgrading my kernel solved the problem for me. Try ditching your kernel26-lts package...

Thanks for that info, but the nvidia-lts packages are supposed to work with the kernel26-lts kernels. That's the sole reason of existence of nvidia-lts .
Do you remember where you found that info? If so I can open a bug report so the nvidia-lts package can be reverted to 270.x.x.

Oops, I did not read carefully. The machine that I got working again was using the regular nvidia and kernel26 packages...

I have a feeling that I was hallucinating about reading about it on the web... sorry. Ah, I remember now --- it was this totally unrelated thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=933318 and the issue was a nvidia vs. the new xorg 1.10 series compatibility. Sorry for the noise...
Anyway, you should post xorg logs so others can compare...

Since using the main kernel package (actually, linux 3.0.0 from Testing) and nvidia drivers (also from Testing) gave the same issues, I tried without Xorg.conf, and it turns out one of the nVidia-specific options was the culprit. Commenting it out fixed it.
