I figure it must be related to nvidia-libgl since if I install mesa-libgl instead, it's fine. I found some posts kinda relating to this, but nothing definitive. Is there a workaround yet?

Re: Latest nvidia-libgl crashes Xorg

What kernel are you running? Did you rebuild your kernel after installing nvidia or a new kernel? Have you rebooted? Is your card supported by 355.11? Did you blacklist nouveau? When was the last time you updated your system? Did you make any changes to xorg.conf?

I don't think there will be a work around until you pinpoint the problem. And you'll have to pinpoint the problem, because I'm not having this issue.

Re: Latest nvidia-libgl crashes Xorg

I'm not usually this bad at posting stuff, I promise. My laptop's got a GeForce GTX 960M, which is supported by 355.11.

linux 4.2.5-1

Stock xorg.conf, just did an update today. I didn't blacklist nouveau, but it's not installed and the wiki claims that the nvidia package blacklists it for you. I didn't rebuild my kernel and rebooted normally after installing the nvidia packages.

Re: Latest nvidia-libgl crashes Xorg

I tend to rebuild my kernel every time a new driver gets installed. With an Nvidia update, if I don't rebuild my kernel, I end up booting to tty and not a graphical desktop. For a stock kernel:

# mkinitcpio -p linux

and then reboot.

Let us know if that works or throws a different error or makes your computer explode.

Re: Latest nvidia-libgl crashes Xorg

I shoulda done my homework before posting. I didn't even realize the laptop I got was using this Optimus nonsense, so now I'm using bumblebee and everything is acceptable.
