I am trying to salvage my laptop install. I had upgraded last week with the July 14, 2012 change in the symlink to /lib.
An upgrade today which included an update to xf86-video-unichrome and a new kernel went smoothly but on reboot syslinux gives the usual boot messages, including that Longhaul APIC does not work on my Via C7-D processor. I get to a terminal login prompt which previously briefly displays before starting xdm. When the login prompt disappears there is now no xdm just a blank display. I am unable to <ctl>-<alt>-<f3> to a terminal.
I can boot to run level 3 when I attempt login the ntp daemon echos the time offset and then I can log in. Startx also locks the system so I am guessing that xorg broke.
For now this is a heads up. I will try to update over the next few days
Edit: Added Info
I reviewed Xorg.0.log and did not see any gross errors. It looks like this has been a recent problem; from the bug tracker at OpenChrome:
#435 system freeze when X starts initialization 0.2.906 defect somebody new 10/06/12
Although that was the prior version. My presently installed version is xf86-video-openchrome-0.3.0-1.
I'll try to roll the update back and if that is the problem try to file a bug report.

Roll Back to xf86-video-openchrome-0.2.906-1-i686 restores the system. A bug report (FS#30868) was filed and an email sent to the maintainer.
