After reinstalling Arch, when trying to start X, I get the error:
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/fophillips/.Xauthority
The file ~/.Xauthority exists and is writable, and when I run: xauth -f ~/.testauth it completes without an error. I used hwd to configure my xorg.conf
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thanks

I have already tried, and it still won't work.

Have you tried moving the Xauth away and letting X make a new one? That helped me once with such an issue.

It's just an empty file, so I removed it, and it still doesn't work.

Okay, I removed .Xauthority* which were all empty, and it created new ones. But now, I'm getting an I/O error 104 Connection Reset by Peer

I wish there was a standard for the recursion parameter, I continually use -R for the -r CLI apps, and vice-versa *slaps forehead*

Posting your most recent Xorg log file would be helpful (/var/log/Xorg.0.log for example). There should be a reason given for that I/O error, eg. problems with the font server. If it is problems with the font server, I *think* you do
$ /etc/init.d/xfs status
to check the status...

Okay fixed. I reinstalled the nvidia drivers and it works.
