xorg + Nvidia 9500M GS + Lock up?

Hello all,
I am trying to do a clean install on my laptop of Arch (for the second time) now my problem is that my system locks up as soon as I hit startx for the test.
X starts (I can also see the Nvidia logo) I have the default xterm windows arranged, but my mouse and my keyboard are not responsive (keyboard keys seem to respond, as I am able to open the bluetooth button etc) inside X.
I have to hard restart the system, additionally my Xorg log has no errors (nor any other system logfile), I have tried numerous versions of my config, disabling and enabling everything but the behavior remains the same...

Hi pestilence,

did you try to disable evdev? You can do so by adding AutoAddDevices "False" to the ServerFlags-Section.

See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … server_1.5 for further information.

If you want to use evdev: Did you install hal and add it to the DAEMONS-line in /etc/rc.conf?
