[HALF-SOLVED] Can't do "startx" after recent update

Hello everyone!

After i updated my system with "pacman -Syu" and rebooted my PC, i got message "FATAL: module "fbcon" not found!" and X failed to start by typing "startx" on the console as i always do.

I have xf86-video-intel and xorg-server 1.7.5 installed. everything from standart repo.

Also, It may be strange that Xorg.0.log ends with some messages about evdev.

don't know what to do to solve this problem. help me please, someone who knows what is it caused by?

Not likely to be of any help here, but I remember when I had onboard VIA video sometimes I would have to reinstall the video driver after xorg updates.  Only other thing I can think of is maybe your window manager needs a fresh config, or maybe the repo you are using sucks.  You could choose an up to date repo and pacman -Syy.

If you would have searched at least this forum, you would have found: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79362

Apparently the FATAL-warning can be ignored. Give us is the output of the logs:

cat /var/log/xorg.0.log | grep EE
cat /car/log/xorg.0.log | grep WW

Then we can start making suggestions.

Reading the logs and trying to understand them is the key to learn linux. Googling what you don't understand is almost as vital.
