Yesterday, I did a Update/Upgrade like usual and everything seemed fine. After a reboot, GUI (XFCE) seemed slightly broken.
By "slightly" I mean, only one virtual desktop was available instead of the four I had set, and compositing wasn't working,
leading me to believe that something driver related was changed. I installed NVIDIA and NVIDIA-UTILS over my nouveau driver as stated in wiki (my card is Geforce 6200 agp). I was also in the process of tweaking my .xinitrc on unrelated problem and tried some settings with that but no help. I changed .xinitrc back to the way it was, but now I am stuck with SLiM login prompt that doesn't allow login, and TTY's seem to frozen on the output from loading the OS, not allowing me to fix from terminal.
Question 1: are the two problems related?
Question 2: was there recently a nouveau breaking update recently?
any ideas or directions on things to try are greatly appreciated, I am currently at work and unable to get to the arch
machine, so I am unable to post any output, just looking for some insight.
