[SOLVED] X crash

Did a pacman -Syu today and X suddenly stops working. I ... Really have no clue what's going on here. Here's the log:

Reading your own log is useful:

[    35.443] This server has a video driver ABI version of 11.0 that is not supported by this NVIDIA driver.
[    35.446] (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver  173.14.31  Sun Jul 17 22:20:25 PDT 2011

You'll need to wait until the 17x series supports the changed ABI.

That wasn't in the news and reading ML is not everyone's favorite pastime: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 21479.html

Ah. That's a big help, thanks. Switching to the nouveau drivers fixed the problem.

You can keep the nvidia driver though by adding conflicting updates to the IgnorePkg = in etc/pacman.conf
For me

IgnorePkg   = libgl xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-aiptek xf86-input-synaptics xorg-server xorg-server-common xorg-apps xorg-xkb-utils xorg-server-utils xorg-utils synaptics libdrm xorg-res-utils xf86driproto xf86-input-keyboard xkeyboard-config

When you are too late to prevent installing the update
When you have to recover:
Boot with a live cd in to your system, chroot
do the same with ect/pacman.conf as described above
Move in terminal to /var/cache/pacman/pkg
and do:
pacman -U xorg-server-1.10.4-1*
I do * because I don't know if you have a 64 bits system or not
and reinstall nvidia.
