GDM Crashes on boot + no touchpad

sabreman · 2014-05-31 21:12:12

Gdm:
Gdm crashes on boot because xorg segfaults (multiple times mind you). This only happens when I have the catalyst drivers installed, works fine with xf86 version. I *can* manually start gnome-session either with that command, or by using startx. As far as I can tell everything works once i do it like this, however TTY1 remains stuck on the boot screen.
I am using the custom x114 repo that was provided on the catalyst wiki page and have the 114.5 xorg version installed form it. I also have the latest catalyst version installed from it's repos (NOT from AUR).

Touchpad:
My touchpad does not work at all, I have tried both the normal xf86-input-synaptics package and the one included in the custom x114 repo. It did work when I was using the opensource drivers and the normal version of xorg, though.

Anyone have any ideas?

As you can see it's trying to log to /dev/null for whatever reason, no idea how to fix that.

If you need more info please ask.

Please ignore this thread. I have gotten sick of this issue (have been dealing with it over a week now) and have decided to drop arch in favor of Debian. Don't worry, I still love it, but I will never try to put it on this laptop again.
