Xserver locks up

Hello

When I reinstalled arch on my computer today(using the testing repo), I installed xorg and the nvidia driver, and my WM/DE of choice(doesn't matter in this case which one), and when startup teh Xserver through startx, I the computer locks up. My Xorg configuration is correct.

Anyone know what migth be wrong?:(

Re: Xserver locks up

Are you sure your xorg config is correct?  The xserver in [testing] has hottplugging enabled and needs evdev

Re: Xserver locks up

Same problem here, I installed evdev, that didn't work. Disabling hotplugging did.

I'll try that.

EDIT: that worked, thanks.
