[SOLVED] KDE won't start after Xorg update(nvidia driver)

After update, I disabled hotplug, with :

Section "ServerFlags"
 Option    "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

kdm starts normally, i can write login/password, i see kde boot splash, then desktop shows and after about 10 secs it is killed and goes back to login screen.

I think the problem is with hal, because (Xorg.0.log):

(II) config/hal: Adding input device Video Bus
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Video Bus
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
(II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Macintosh mouse button emulation
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed

Also (.xsession-errors)

ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings
       --help` for usage information.

the newest xorg breaks the nvidia driver i went threw this yesterday i had to rollback to a older xorg-server, xorg-server-utils, xorg-utils. then i exited Xserver did a /etc/rc.d/kdm3 stop. then i reinstalled my nvidia-96xx driver and rebooted then my kdemod3 started and nvidia driver worked again

Re: [SOLVED] KDE won't start after Xorg update(nvidia driver)

Well, I rebuilded my xorg.conf with

Xorg -configure

and it started working, even with evdev driver, just had to add

Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"

in section "ServerFlags". I'm not really sure what caused that error.
