I realize this isn't much information to go on. What I'm looking for is some advice on how to proceed debugging this. Where should I look next?
When I run startx, I get
xauth: (stdin):2: unknown command "ef33d0225485e7060dffee1ecb847468"It seems to load normally afterwards. Everything seems to be fine, until I run a game in WINE. At that point, the mouse cursor disappears entirely (both in and out of the WINE window) and X eventually freezes. This does not happen every time, which makes this whole thing very frustrating.
I'm using a NVIDIA card with proprietary drivers (updated with pacman). Everything is up to date, the nvidia module is loaded in the kernel, and nouveau isn't installed.
WINE does not output anything useful even with a 2>&1 |tee log. The Xorg.0.log doesn't show any errors, save this:
(II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon
(II) NVIDIA(0): may not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X
(II) NVIDIA(0): configuration option may not be set correctly. When the
(II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI event daemon is available, the NVIDIA X driver will

For the xauth error, try deleting the .Xauthority in your home folder.

That removed the error. And since I've done that, I've been trying my hardest to break WINE and can't. .Xauthority seems to have been the root of the entire problem. Thanks!

In that case, please add [SOLVED] to the thread title (just edit your first post).

I take the second part back. The issue with X crashing with WINE still occurs intermittently.
I'm noticing that .Xauthority is being given 2-3 entries shortly after login, often the same one twice. Is this normal?
Also, I went through errors.log and found some seemingly relevant lines. This one is throughout (along with a similar one with 16 instead of 56):
kernel: [ 626.673586] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 56, CMDre 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000001This is everywhere as well:

The second error seems irrelevant but I could be wrong. The third concerns me, whether or not it's related to my problem with X.

Make sure your system is up-to-date and reinstall udev if necessary.
Offline
Everything was up to date. The udev errors didn't show up after reinstalling udev. Once I noticed this I reinstalled the nvidia things I had installed (nvidia, nvidia-utils, lib32-nvidia-utils). Restarted, and the NVRM error has yet to show up.
I want to test it a little longer before I say it's fixed, since the problems have been intermittent. Once I'm satisfied the problem is gone I'll mark this topic [SOLVED].
anon, thank you for your help.

No errors show on starting X, but I did get the same crash again, which yielded:
Aug 11 20:54:56 localhost kernel: [106224.213698] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 56, CMDre 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000001I suppose the next step is to reinstall X. I'll be doing that later on tonight.
