[SOLVED]X server problem after system upgrade - fonts garbled

Hi all,
I "pacman -Syu"-ed my system yesterday and now my X server is busted. Admittedly, I don't upgrade as often as I should and this was a pretty big upgrade for me so perhaps something broke due to that. Now I cannot see fonts and icons properly. All text except for the "system" fonts is hopelessly garbled. I can only see text clearly in xterm. Images show up just fine.

Please click the link below for a clearer picture of the problem

In addition to this, the system hangs (blank screen, but disk light still on) when I exit my X session.

I went through all the logs but found nothing amiss....
Pls help, I'd really like my nice archlinux system back....

thanks in advance.

Sid

SOLVED!
The upgrade must have corrupted my intel video drivers because removing and reinstalling the i810 package fixed the problem.
