well, yesterday i installed arch from the 2008.03 iso, everything its ok, but when i do "startx" and i try to go to any TTY i only get a black screen, i've reading the forums for a solution, i tried the "vga" parameter in the menu.lst but its fail, im using "nvidia" driver in the xorg.conf..
i have a compaq F706LA with nvidia geforce go 6100 vga and the drivers from the repo:
pacman -Qi nvidia
Name : nvidia
Version : 169.12-2
any ideas please thanks.
pd: sorry my bad english

Odd, It seems I have the same problem too, I'm using intel drivers so I doubt the problem is driver related.

My X wouldn't originally start when I had a framebuffer issue; it couldn't handle it being at 32 by default, so I had to change it. So there might be an issue (probably not that) in your xorg.conf file other than the driver.

i really dont think the problem is xorg, i see this problem in 2 archers friends too, both with nvidia vga's, and there are a few more threads about similar problems. Maybe framebuffer?
m...
any help is welcome..
thanks

Hey failure, as of now, the only way to fix this is downgrading to 100.14.19
It's been a known issue for a long time now and however nvidia hasn't yet released any kind of fix for it.
