After not updating for over a week, yesterday I did a pacman -Syu only to find out this morning that X won't start. I'm getting the following message:
(EE) module ABI major version (12) doesn't match the server's version (13)
Tried adding this to xorg.conf but that results in a segmentation fault:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "IgnoreABI"
EndSection
Can't downgrade X as I don't have the old package in /var/lib/pacman/pkg. Will post the full logs later.

The error means you need to update your X drivers.

Yes you can https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade#ARM
Edit: Are you running Arch in Virtualbox?

How do I do that? My system is up to date. The only thing I could do is add the testing repo but I don't know if it's a good idea.

Will try that if I can't find a better solution. No, I'm not using Virtualbox.

Maybe searching for 'xf86' would be better. At least in my case, video driver (nouveau) does not show up in 'xorg' search.
pacman -Qs xf86 | grep "^local"

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

@jasewobble
Have you tried xf86-video-sis?
@alphaniner
I wanted to get the versions of some other packages, like xorg-server too, but you're right, this wasn't a smart way to do it.

xf86-video-sis doesn't work for my graphics card at all. xf86-video-sis671 from AUR works (at least did last time I tried) but it's just a patched sisimedia and hasn't been updated in a while anyway.
Edit: xf86-video-vesa works but that's not a solution...

I've run out of ideas. Maybe it's a bug?

xf86-video-sisimedia hasn't been rebuilt for xorg-server 1.13, that's why it doesn't work. You need to downgrade xorg to 1.12, or get a rebuild driver for xorg 1.13

Oh, wish I had known that before upgrading. Never done a downgrade before, hope it's not too much of a hassle.
Edit: All done, wasn't difficult at all. Thanks for the help.

I have the same issue. I'm at work, and I can't fix now. Which packs should I downgrade, besides xorg-server?
