I am trying to update a friends thinkpad R30 from a nearly 6month old arch install
after a pacman -Syufd
i think kernel and udev updates went okay (had to put irqpoll as a boot option (?) would that affect xorg7)
but xorg won't run
using xf86-video-trident (trident) and vesa for each
first tried using the old working config with modified paths: sig 11
then Xorg --configure, changed mouse line && X -config /root/xorg.conf.new: sig 11
added "Modes" to the new config file, still sig 11
i can think of two problems: didn't explictly remove xorg before updateing, or a critical xorg package/module is missing
any ideas
the xorg log and config are on another computer, i can post them if they might help
thanks

You could check the xorg log for any error/warning messages. It will tell you if you're missing a package/module.

thanks for the reply, no warnings only the error (sig 11)
however, after removing all the xorg stuff, putting it back and rebooting, it worked with vesa and trident
i did change depth modes, but i doubt that fixed it
thanks though
