Hello there, I upgraded Arch last night and today every time I open Firefox or Pavucontrol my graphical interface freezes. I'm using Openbox-session, and have configured hot keys to open the terminal, and other programs. These work okay, I can open a terminal, but I have no feedback from it; yet if I type a command like reboot, the computer reacts. The only thing that has solved this state is killing Xorg, sometimes twice before I get the interface working.
Is there something broken in the latest pacman upgrade? I recall that is asked me to replace a bunch of packages, when I ran -Syu.
I see a similar issue around the web, but they have pinpointed that it is an issue with the NVIDIA driver; it doesn't apply to me because I have ATI:

Which driver is the amd GPU using radeon or amdgpu? If amdgpu try the boot option amdgpu.dc=0.
If that does not work please post the systems dmesg and Xorg.log.
Also there appears to be issues with rtl8723de-dkms its appears not to have generated a module for 4.14.15 and fails to build for 4.15.3
Edit:
Oh and welcome to the arch linux forums gsattolini.

Hi, Thanks for the welcome and your help. I was not able to make the changes in in the boot (I'm not sure how D:), but the problem resolved itself with the latest upgrade. Also I the dkms stuff was something I was trying to install earlier but couldn't, I removed it already.
Thanks for your help.

For future reference Kernel_parameters and if you are satisfied the issue is resolved please mark it as such by editing the first post and prepend [SOLVED] to the title.

Xorg was failing to start on my machine today - presumably due to a kernel upgrade from linux-ck-piledriver 4.14.19-1 to 4.15.4-1 - and this resolved the issue.
Thanks!
